ANALYSIS : The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative
approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide
general election as Proposition 39, made changes to corporate
income taxes and, except as specified, provides for the transfer
of $550,000,000 annually from the General Fund to the Creation
Fund for five FYs beginning with the 2013-14 FY. Moneys in the
Creation Fund are available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for purposes of funding eligible projects that
create jobs in California improving energy efficiency and
expanding clean energy generation. Existing law provides for
the allocation of these funds for eligible projects at public
school facilities, university and college facilities, and other
public buildings and facilities, as well as job training and
workforce development, and public-private partnerships, as
specified.
This bill requires the SERCDC to develop and administer a
financial assistance program to assist the CCC, CSU, and UC with
energy efficiency and clean energy onsite generation projects.
This bill requires SERCDC to develop and adopt specific
