   An act to repeal Section 181016 of the Public Utilities Code,
relating to the Sonoma County Regional Climate Protection Authority.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1030, McGuire. Sonoma County Regional Climate Protection
Authority.
   Existing law, until December 1, 2019, creates the Sonoma County
Regional Climate Protection Authority. Existing law provides for the
authority to be governed by the same board as that governing the
Sonoma County Transportation Authority and imposes certain duties on
the authority. Existing law authorizes the authority to perform
coordination and implementation activities within the boundaries of
the County of Sonoma, in cooperation with local agencies, as defined,
that elect to participate, to assist those agencies in meeting their
greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. Existing law authorizes
the authority to develop, coordinate, and implement programs and
policies to comply with the California Global Warming Solutions Act
of 2006 and other federal or state mandates and programs designed to
respond to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
   This bill would extend these provisions indefinitely. By extending
the duties of the Sonoma County Regional Climate Protection
Authority, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 181016 of the Public Utilities Code is
repealed.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district are the result of a program for which legislative authority
was requested by that local agency or school district, within the
meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code and Section 6 of
Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
