INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Huffman
FEBRUARY 4, 2009
An act to amend Sections 25402.5 and 25402.5.4 of the
Public Resources Code, relating to energy. An act to
amend Sections 25237 and 25238 of the Business and Professions Code,
relating to alcoholic beverages.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 228, as amended, Huffman. Energy: outdoor lighting
efficiency. Alcoholic beverages: wine.
Existing law makes it unlawful to make any representation that a
wine is produced entirely from grapes grown in specified counties
unless the representation is true. Existing law specifies that those
provisions apply to representations made on labels, advertising
matter, letterheads, invoices, tags, signs, business cards, and all
other representations of any kind whether oral, written, or printed.
Existing law also requires wine growers and bottlers of wine to keep
specified records regarding wine from specified counties.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in those
provisions.
Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission to adopt regulations on minimum energy
efficiency standards for lighting that would reduce the average
statewide electrical energy consumption by not less than 25% from the
2007 levels for outdoor lighting by 2018. Existing law requires the
commission to consult with the Department of Transportation to ensure
that outdoor lighting standards that affect the department are
compatible with the department's policies and standards for safety
and illumination levels on state highways.
This bill would require the commission, by December 31, 2011, to
adopt minimum energy efficiency standards of 80 lumens per watt or
more for outdoor lighting, as specified, that would become effective
on or before January 1, 2015. The bill would also eliminate the
requirement that the commission consult with the department.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes
no . State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 25237 of the

Solano, San Luis Obispo, Contra Costa, Monterey, and Marin
unless the representation is true. This section applies to

the source from which obtained, the kind or type of wine, and, in
detail, the purpose or purposes for which it is used. Each wine
grower or bottler of wine shall keep a complete record showing the
total amount of wine produced by him, or bottled by him, made

pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 25402.
(3) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that paragraphs (1)
and (2) are declarative of existing law.
(c) The commission shall adopt efficiency standards for outdoor
lighting. The standards shall be technologically feasible and cost

25402.5.4. (a) On or before December 31, 2008, the commission
shall adopt minimum energy efficiency standards for all general
purpose lights on a schedule specified in the regulations. The
regulations, in combination with other programs and activities
affecting lighting use in the state, shall be structured to reduce
average statewide electrical energy consumption by not less than 50
percent from the 2007 levels for indoor residential lighting and by
not less than 25 percent from the 2007 levels for indoor commercial
and outdoor lighting, by 2018.
(b) The commission shall make recommendations to the Governor and
the Legislature regarding how to continue reductions in electrical
consumption for lighting beyond 2018.
(c) The commission may establish programs to encourage the sale in
this state of general purpose lights that meet or exceed the
