§ 10302 Utility And Agency Definitions

• •The article uses special meanings for three terms.
• •Each term points to another law where the full definition lives.
• •Knowing these definitions helps people follow the rest of the rules correctly.

A city wants to give a contract to a company that supplies electricity, but first it has to check if that company fits the definition of an 'electrical corporation' under the law.

The city looks at the definition in Section 218 (for electrical corporation) and Section 222 (for gas corporation) to see if the company qualifies, and it also checks Section 34102 of the Health and Safety Code to see if a group called a redevelopment agency is involved.
