. (a) The commission shall require every gas corporation to
adopt and pursue purchasing and procurement practices which assure
its customers the lowest rates consistent with security of supply and
with Section 785.
(b) Pursuant to subdivision (a), the commission may establish and
periodically revise for each gas corporation guidelines for
priorities among suppliers and sources of supply of gas to gas
corporations, taking into consideration the requirements of Section

corporation of any requirement to make reasonable and prudent
purchases of gas or diminish the authority of the commission to
review the reasonableness of any purchase or procurement decision of
the corporation.
