	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2270, Ting. California Building Standards Commission: advisory
panels.
   The California Building Standards Law establishes the California
Building Standards Commission and requires the commission to appoint
an executive director. The law authorizes the commission to appoint
advisory panels from the design professions, the building and
construction industry, the affected general public, and interested
governmental agencies to advise the commission and its staff.
   This bill would authorize the commission to also appoint
individuals from the energy and resource efficiency professions to an
advisory panel. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature
to enact legislation that would promote the creation of energy and
resource efficient homes in California.


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

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to promote the creation of energy and resource efficient
homes in California.
  SEC. 2.  Section 18927 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to
read:
   18927.  The commission may appoint from the design professions,
the energy and resource efficiency professions, the building and
construction industry, the affected general public, and interested
governmental agencies, appropriate advisory panels to advise the
commission and its staff with respect to building standards. The
persons appointed to the panels shall be specifically knowledgeable
and qualified in the type of work embraced by the building standards
in question. These persons shall serve without compensation, but may
receive actual necessary travel expenses.
