	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 846, as amended, Achadjian.  County assessors: duties.
  Energy: property assessed clean energy. 
   Existing law  requires the county assessor in each county
who is designated to perform the duty of assessing property for a
local taxing jurisdiction to provide an estimate of the assessed
valuation of property within the jurisdiction, as specified.
  authorizes a public agency, as defined, and as part of
a property assessed clean energy (PACE) program, to issue a PACE
bond that is secured by a voluntary contractual assessment or
voluntary special tax on property to finance the installation of
distributed generation renewable energy sources, electric vehicle
charging infrastructure, or energy or water efficiency improvements,
if the public agency receives approval from the California
Alternative Energy and Advanced   Transportation Financing
Authority, as specified. 
   This bill would  make technical, nonsubstantive changes to
those provisions.   authorize a school district, county
office of education, or charter school to voluntarily enter into an
agreement with a PACE program to finance, refinance, or lease the
installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources,
electric vehicle charging infrastructure, or energy or water
efficiency improvements. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
