CA AB2693

Requires the Public Utilities Commission to collect information from telecommunications service providers during fire- or natural disaster-related state or local emergencies declared by the Governor, including data on network damage, service outages, outage duration, 911 system impacts, and restoration efforts.

Mandates the Commission prepare an annual report summarizing collected information and providers' plans for restoring service and repairing infrastructure, broken down by each emergency or disaster, and submit it to appropriate legislative policy committees.

Requires the Commission to post the annual report conspicuously on its Internet website and directs the Commission President to annually present a summary of collected information to appropriate legislative policy committees.

Authorizes the Commission to require telecommunications service providers to collect and forward relevant information and to make information public, except for information the Commission deems would pose a security threat if disclosed.

Declares that withholding security-sensitive information from public disclosure serves a compelling governmental interest and provides that no local reimbursement is required under state mandate provisions.
