Cal. Pub. Util. Code § 1803.1 — Intervenor’s Fees and Expenses is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The commission shall adopt a policy to allow reasonable advocate’s fees, reasonable expert witness fees, and other reasonable costs of preparation for and participation in a hearing or proceeding to an eligible local government entity that complies with Section 1804 and satisfies all of the following requirements:

(a) The entity’s presentation makes a substantial contribution to the adoption, in whole or in part, of the commission’s order or decision.

(b) Participation or intervention without an award of fees or costs imposes a significant financial hardship.

(c) The subject of the hearing or proceeding is the result of a triggering event, as determined by the commission, that significantly impacted the residents of the local government entity.
