INTRODUCED BY   Senator Corbett

                        JANUARY 10, 2013

   An act to add Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 26230) to
Division 16.3 of the Public Resources Code, relating to energy
efficiency, and making an appropriation therefor.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 64, as amended, Corbett. Proposition 39: implementation.
   The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative approved by
the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election as
Proposition 39, made changes to corporate income taxes and, except as
specified, provides for the transfer of $550,000,000 annually from
the General Fund to the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for 5 fiscal
years beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year. Moneys in the Clean
Energy Job Creation Fund are available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for purposes of funding eligible projects that create
jobs in California improving energy efficiency and expanding clean
energy generation. Existing law provides for the allocation of these
funds for eligible projects at public school facilities, university
and college facilities, and other public buildings and facilities, as
well as job training and workforce development, and public-private
partnerships, as specified.
   This bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation
and Development Commission to develop and administer programs,
consistent with the act, to provide financial assistance to school
districts, cities, and counties to install energy efficiency or clean
energy technology in public schools and municipal facilities. The
bill would appropriate for the 2013-14 fiscal year an unspecified sum
from the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund to the commission for the
above purpose, thereby making an appropriation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
