   An act to amend Section 385.2 of the Public Utilities Code,
relating to energy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2014, as introduced, Torrico. Energy efficiency.
   Existing law requires a local publicly owned electric utility, by
a specified date, to be responsible for implementing an energy
efficiency program that recognizes the Legislature's intent to
encourage energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions in
existing residential and nonresidential buildings.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this
requirement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

recognizes the intent of the Legislature to encourage energy savings
and greenhouse gas emission reductions in existing residential and
nonresidential buildings, while taking into consideration the effect
