          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016


          Bill  
        Summary:1)  AB 2313 increases the monetary incentive amounts available to  
          biomethane projects and directs the California Public Utilities  
          Commission (CPUC) to consider whether to allow the recovery of  
          rates of the cost for specified activities.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           One-time costs of approximately $550,000 and ongoing costs of  
            approximately $60,000 (Utilities Reimbursement Account) to the  
            CPUC. 
           Unknown, potentially significant costs to the state as a  
            ratepayer.
