Summary

The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative enacted by voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election as Proposition 39, establishes the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund and requires moneys in the fund be available for appropriation during specified fiscal years for the purposes of funding specified energy-related projects in school facilities and other public facilities and projects related to job training and workforce development for energy efficiency and clean energy projects, and providing assistance to local governments in establishing public-private partnerships that provide specified financial and technical assistance for cost-effective retrofits. This bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, in consultation with the Public Utilities Commission and other appropriate state agencies, to develop a program to award financial assistance for the above-described purposes. The bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to administer grants, loans, or other financial assistance to eligible entities for the purpose of funding eligible projects that create jobs in California by reducing energy demand and consumption, to establish criteria for the award of grants, loans, or other financial assistance that include specified matter, and to maintain a public database of the eligible entities that receive grants, loans, or other financial assistance through the program. The bill would require that any eligible entity applying to the commission for a grant, loan, or financial assistance solely to install a clean energy generation project demonstrate to the commission that the entity has implemented all cost-effective energy efficiency and demand response improvements. The bill would require that an eligible entity receiving a grant, loan, or other financial assistance from the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund, submit a report to the Citizens Oversight Board, no sooner than one year and not later than 15 months after receiving the award, that includes specified information, and would require the Citizens Oversight Board to annually report the information it receives to the Legislature as part of its existing reporting responsibilities and to post the report on a publicly accessible Internet Web site.
