Summary

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. The act authorizes the state board to include use of market-based compliance mechanisms. This bill would require the state board to freely allocate greenhouse gas emissions allowances to the California State University, the University of California, and private colleges and universities for purposes of any market-based compliance mechanism adopted by the state board. The bill would prohibit the state board from assessing a fee on the California State University, the University of California, or a private college or university for purposes of any program or regulation adopted pursuant to the act.
