Administrative History
Chapter 424 of the Laws of 1907 replaced various existing state regulatory authorities with the Public Service Commission, which was divided into two districts.
The first district had jurisdiction within the counties of Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond, comprising New York City. The second district was responsible for the remainder of the state. In 1919 the first district commission was reduced to a single Public Service Commissioner and two years later the two public service districts were abolished entirely and replaced by a single Public Service Commission.
