LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2066, as introduced, Megan Dahle. Energy: building standards: photovoltaic requirements.

Existing law authorizes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to prescribe, by regulation, energy efficiency standards, including appliance efficiency standards. Under this authority, the commission has established regulations for the installation of photovoltaic systems meeting certain requirements for low-rise residential buildings built on or after January 1, 2020.

This bill would exempt from the photovoltaic requirements new residential and nonresidential buildings constructed in areas of the state that receive a significant amount of annual snowfall.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 25402.14 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read:

25402.14.

Notwithstanding other laws, requirements regarding photovoltaic systems established pursuant to regulations prescribed pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 25402 shall not apply to new residential and nonresidential buildings constructed in areas of the state that receive a significant amount of annual snowfall.
