Steven,
In addition to the potential State Board of Equalization regulatory

It is going to be heard off the Assembly Floor on Thursday.

proposed for insertion into it:

In line 1 of the heading, strike out "Members Midgen and Aroner", strike
out line 2 and insert: Member Migden

In line 1 of the title, strike out "amend Section 6203 of" and insert:  add
Section 721.5 to

On page 2, strike out line 1 and insert:

SECTION 1. Section 721.5 is added to Revenue and Taxation Code, to read:

721.5. (a) Notwithstanding Section 721 or any other provision of law to the

facility with a generating capacity of 50 megawatts or more that is owned
or operated by an electrical corporation, as defined in subdivision (a) of
Section 218 of the Public Utilities Code.
(b) This section shall be construed to supersede any regulation, in
existence as of the effective date of this section, that is contrary to

                                         Subject:     Creation of IEP 
Property Tax Subcommittee; Conference
                                         Call Scheduled for 9:30 a.m. (PST) 
on Thursday, May 31





The IEP Regulatory Affairs Committee approved the creation of a new,
Property Tax Subcommittee.  The Regulatory Affairs Committee is noticing
the
entire IEP membership inviting participation by all the commpanies
interested in property tax matters.

Last week, Controller Connell indicated an interest in shifting the
jurisdiction over property tax assessment applied to electric generators
from the local level to the State Board of Equalization (SBE).  IEP engaged
in this matter in 1998/1999.  Attached is a brief summary memo of the key
issues at that time.  At that time, IEP successfully argued for retaining
jurisdictional authority at the local level.

The SBE may take this issue up at its June 20, 2001 meeting.  The SBE is
comprised of five voting members.  The membership is divided 3:2 between
democrats and republicans.

The initial meeting of the Subcommittee will be a conference call scheduled
for 9:30 a.m. (PST) on Thursday, May 31.  During this meeting, we will be
