   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 Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for 5 fiscal
years beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year. Moneys in the Clean
Energy Job 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
available funds to public school facilities, university and college
facilities, other public buildings and facilities, as well as job
training and workforce development, and public-private partnerships,
for eligible projects, as specified. Existing law creates the
Citizens Oversight Board with specified responsibilities relative to
the review of expenditures from the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund,
including the submission of an evaluation to the Legislature.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
