	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2447, as introduced, Campos. Leroy F. Green School Facilities
Act of 1998: energy efficiency.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
establishes a program in which the State Allocation Board is required
to provide state per-pupil funding, including hardship funding, for
new school facilities construction and school facilities
modernization for applicant school districts. The act authorizes, as
a part of the requirements for submission of an application to the
State Allocation Board for new construction or modernization funding,
the applicant school to certify that a specified energy analysis and
report has been prepared.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the energy
analysis and report provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

energy analysis and report has been prepared that sets forth the
utility savings that would be generated if the facilities were
designed, constructed, and  equipped,   equipped

would make the facilities exceed the minimum building
energy-efficiency standards mandated for new public buildings

Code through the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy
technologies.
   (b) The energy analysis and report shall include a verifiable
life-cycle cost analysis for each proposed energy conservation

   (3) Fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) per project for high
schools.
   (d) An applicant school district may count the following funds or
expenditures toward meeting the local matching funds requirement
under this chapter:
   (1) The amount from any local sources actually expended on the
project by the applicant school district for an energy audit.
   (2) The amount actually applied to the project from any incentive,
grant, or rebate, received by the applicant school district from a
program funded pursuant to Section 381 of the Public Utilities Code.
