	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1409, Pavley. Office of Planning and Research: energy security.

    Existing law establishes the Office of Planning and Research
(OPR) in state government in the Governor's office and requires OPR
to, among other things, coordinate the development of policies and
criteria to ensure the federal grants-in-aid administered or directly
expended by state government advance statewide environmental goals
and objectives and to coordinate research activities of state
government directed to the growth and development of the state and
the preservation of environmental quality, and render advice to the
Governor, his or her cabinet, to the Legislature, and any agency or
department of state government, and provide information to, and
cooperate with, the Legislature or any of its committees.
   Existing law declares the state policy to promote all feasible
means of energy and water conservation and all feasible use of
alternative energy and water supply sources. Existing law establishes
various programs to provide to specified entities financial
assistance for the installation of energy efficiency measures and
renewable energy resources.
   This bill would require OPR to identify those state agencies that
develop and implement state energy and environmental policies that
directly impact on the United States Department of Defense's energy
security and military mission goals. The bill would require those
identified state agencies, when developing or implementing those
state policies, to consider those direct impacts. The bill would
require OPR to serve as a liaison to coordinate effective inclusion
of the United States Department of Defense in the development and
implementation of state energy and environmental policy.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  This measure shall be known and may be cited as the
Energy Security Coordination Act of 2013.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
   (a) Climate change and oil dependence pose a threat to the health,
safety, and stability of the State of California and to the national
security of the United States.
   (b) About 80 percent of military convoys carry fuel. According to
the United States Secretary of the Navy, for every 50 fuel convoys,
one marine is killed or wounded. Approximately 3,000 United States
troops and civilian contractors have been killed or wounded
protecting convoys.
   (c) The State of California and the United States Department of
Defense constitute two of the largest energy users in the world, with
a combined annual energy expenditure of over one hundred billion
dollars ($100,000,000,000). As such, the pursuit of complementary
commitments to clean energy can accelerate the growth of the American
clean energy economy, stimulate job creation, and mitigate the
threats of climate change and oil dependence.
   (d) The United States Department of Defense is one of the largest
economic drivers in the State of California, with 30 major military
installations, a budget of more than fifty-six billion dollars
($56,000,000,000) and more than 236,000 uniformed and civilian
personnel.
   (e) California has the largest clean energy economy in the nation,
employing over 318,000 workers throughout the state in a wide
variety of industries, which have substantial existing capacity, and
significant unmet potential to provide products and services to meet
the State of California's and the United States Department of Defense'
s clean energy priorities.
   (f) The United States Department of Defense, in cooperation with
the United States Armed Forces, has targeted energy efficiency, the
reduction of water and petroleum consumption, and the development and
deployment of alternative fuels, advanced transportation technology
and related infrastructure, and distributed generation and recharging
technologies as top operational and strategic imperatives.
   (g) To promote a cooperative and collaborative relationship
between the State of California and the United States Department of
Defense in advancing clean energy, it is necessary for the Office of
Planning and Research to have specific responsibility in this area.
  SEC. 3.  Section 65040.7 is added to the Government Code, to read:
   65040.7.  (a) For purposes of this section, the following terms
have the following meanings:
    (1) "Energy security and military mission goals" means federal
laws, regulations, or executive orders, related to alternative fuel
and vehicle technology, clean energy, energy efficiency, water and
waste conservation, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and related
infrastructure, including, but not limited to, the federal laws,
regulations, and executive orders, and the goals set forth therein,
of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 8201
et seq.), the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C.
Sec. 17001 et seq.), the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. Sec.
15801 et seq.), and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. Sec.
13201 et seq.), and the goals set forth in Executive Order No. 13514,
Executive Order No. 13423, and Executive Order No. 13221.
    (2) "State energy and environmental policies" includes, but is
not limited to, policies involving alternative fuels and vehicle
technology and related fueling infrastructure, renewable electricity
generation and related transmission infrastructure, energy efficiency
and demand response, waste management, recycling, water
conservation, water quality, water supply, greenhouse gas emissions
reductions, and green chemistry.
    (b) A state agency that is identified by the Office of Planning
Research pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) shall, when
developing and implementing state energy and environmental policies,
consider the direct impacts of those policies upon the United States
Department of Defense's energy security and military mission goals.
    (c) The Office of Planning and Research shall do both of the
following:
    (1) Identify state agencies that develop and implement state
energy and environmental policies that directly impact the United
States Department of Defense's energy security and military mission
goals in the state.
   (2) Serve as a liaison to coordinate effective inclusion of the
United States Department of Defense in the development and
implementation of state energy and environmental policy.
   (d) This section shall not do any of the following:
