	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Evans

                        FEBRUARY 16, 2010

   An act relating to energy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1923, as introduced, Evans. Energy: photovoltaic panels.
   Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission to initiate a public proceeding to study and
make findings whether, and under what conditions, solar energy
systems should be required on new residential and nonresidential
buildings and to periodically update the study. For these purposes,
"solar energy system" means a photovoltaic solar collector or other
photovoltaic solar energy device.
   Existing law establishes the Solar Training, Education, and
Certification Act of 2001. The act authorizes a local government to
develop and administer a program to encourage the construction of
buildings that use solar thermal and photovoltaic systems.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to discourage the theft of photovoltaic panels.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to discourage the theft of photovoltaic panels.
