        Amends the Public Utilities Act. Provides that, before hiring  an      
   employee  or independent contractor for work involving facilities used      
   for the distribution of natural gas, a public utility must  conduct  a

   Provides  that  expenditures  by  a  natural gas utility for fines and      
   remediation and related activities in connection with an environmental      
   violation shall not be included in  determining  the  rates  for  that      
   utility. Effective immediately.
