	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1305, as introduced, Pavley. California Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006: revenue allocations.
   The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires the
State Air Resources Board to adopt regulations to require the
reporting and verification of emissions of greenhouse gases and to
monitor and enforce compliance with the reporting and verification
program, and requires the state board to adopt a statewide greenhouse
gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas
emissions levels in 1990 to be achieved by 2020. The act requires the
state board to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process
to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective
greenhouse gas emission reductions. The act authorizes the state
board to include the use of market-based compliance mechanisms. The
act authorizes the state board to adopt a schedule of fees to be paid
by the sources of greenhouse gas emissions regulated pursuant to the
act, and requires the revenues collected pursuant to that fee to be
deposited into the Air Pollution Control Fund and be available, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of carrying out the
act.
   This bill would provide that revenues generated from fees to fund
expenditures beyond the administrative costs of implementing the act,
revenues generated as a result of the implementation of market-based
compliance mechanisms, or revenues generated from compliance
mechanisms shall be appropriated by the Legislature in furtherance of
the act for purposes determined by the Legislature.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 38575 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   38575.  Revenues generated from fees to fund expenditures beyond
the administrative costs of implementing this division, revenues
generated as a result of the implementation of market-based
compliance mechanisms, or revenues generated from compliance
mechanisms, shall be appropriated by the Legislature in furtherance
of this division for purposes determined by the Legislature.
