LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1221, as introduced, Min. Equitable Building Decarbonization Program: report.

Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to establish the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program, which includes establishing a statewide incentive program for low-carbon building technologies and the direct install program to fund certain projects, including installation of energy efficient electric appliances, energy efficiency measures, demand flexibility measures, wiring and panel upgrades, building infrastructure upgrades, efficient air-conditioning systems, ceiling fans, and other measures to protect against extreme heat, where appropriate, and remediation and safety measures to facilitate the installation of new technologies. Existing law authorizes the commission to administer the direct install program through regional direct install third-party implementers, as specified. Existing law requires that the direct install program give preference to projects in buildings that meet specified criteria. The Budget Act of 2022 appropriated $112,000,000 from the General Fund for purposes of the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program.

Existing law requires the commission, on or before September 1, 2024, and annually thereafter until the moneys described above have been expended, to submit a report to the relevant policy committees of the Legislature that includes information about the progress of the direct install program, including the selected administrators and implementers and implementation progress, as specified.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the above-described provision involving this report.
