Summary

(1) Existing law, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. The state board is required to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions level in 1990 to be achieved by 2020, and to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum, technologically feasible, and cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Existing law authorizes the state board to include market-based compliance mechanisms, as defined, to comply with the regulations. Existing law prohibits conferring any authority on the state board to alter any programs administered by other state agencies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This bill would additionally prohibit any authority being conferred on the state board to impose any regulatory obligations on publicly owned water utilities for purposes of greenhouse gas emissions related to electricity imported for the publicly owned water utility's own use for the sole purpose of obtaining, transporting, and distributing water to its service area from an out-of-state water source unless the state board allocates to publicly owned water utilities allowances, credits, or other forms of price mitigation received by publicly owned electric utilities. (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
