INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Hagman

                        FEBRUARY 5, 2013

   An act to add Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 26230) to
Division 16.3 of the Public Resources Code, relating to energy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 239, as introduced, Hagman. Energy: school facilities: energy
efficiency upgrade projects.
   The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative measure
enacted by voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general
election, establishes the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund and requires
moneys in the fund to be available for appropriation during
specified fiscal years for, among other things, the purposes of
funding energy efficiency retrofit and clean energy installation
projects in schools and other public facilities.
   This bill would establish the California Clean Energy School Fund
in the State Treasury. The bill would transfer 50% of the moneys
deposited into the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund to the California
Clean Energy School Fund during specified fiscal years and would
require the Office of Public School Construction to expend moneys in
the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to fund a
zero-interest revolving loan program for school districts to perform
energy efficiency retrofit or clean energy installation projects at
public schools.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
