OPINION

MIHARA, J.

In 1971, the California Legislature enacted Public Utilities Code1 section 6201.5 which, for the first time, authorized counties to use the franchise-granting provisions of the Franchise Act of 1937. In this case we hold the enactment did not change the franchise fee formula contained in preexisting county franchises granted under the Broughton Act.
