LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative approved by the voters as Proposition 39 at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, made changes to corporate income taxes and, except as specified, provided 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 those moneys to local educational agencies and community college districts. Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to maintain information on the local educational agencies and community
college districts that receive the funding in a publicly available and searchable database that includes relevant metrics, as specified.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision concerning the commission’s duty to maintain this information.
