Summary

(1) 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 act authorizes the state board to include the use of market-based compliance mechanisms. Existing law requires all moneys, except for fines and penalties, collected by the state board as part of a market-based compliance mechanism to be deposited in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and to be available upon appropriation. This bill would establish the Zero- and Near-Zero-Emission Intermodal Terminals Program to be administered by the state board to fund equipment upgrades and investments at intermodal terminals, as defined, to help transition the state's freight system to be zero- and near-zero-emission operations. The bill would authorize the program to be implemented with moneys from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. (2) Existing law establishes the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission and requires the commission to administer various programs to award grants and other financial assistance for energy-related projects. This bill would establish the Port Building and Lighting Efficiency Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Program to be administered by the commission for the purpose of funding energy efficiency upgrades and investments at public ports that help reduce electrical load and increase onsite renewable generation. The bill would authorize the program to be implemented with moneys from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
