Colorado Context: By providing clarification on the role of the PUC versus the role of local governments, this bill aims to prevent confusion on the part of both entities as to jurisdiction over land use issues. National Context: State transmission siting requirements vary greatly in the west.8 Bill Provisions: The bill clarifies that an assessment of public convenience and necessity (performed by the PUC) does not include the consideration of land use rights or siting issues related to the location or alignment of proposed transmission lines. Rather, the bill explains, these issues are under the jurisdiction of a local governments land use regulation. Fiscal Impact: The bill is assessed as having no fiscal impact.9
