SUMMARY : Clarifies applicability of the minority, women, and
disabled veteran business enterprises (MWDE) procurement for
renewable energy providers by adding a definition that
references the existing definition of renewable energy in the
Renewable Energy Portfolio statute.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
COMMENTS : This is a committee bill that is noncontroversial and
technical in nature.
MWDE statutes: The Public Utilities Code for MWDE procurement
does not define renewable energy for purposes of this program.
Current law requires annual plans from electric, gas, and
telecommunication corporations to include short- and long-term
goals and timetables, but not quotas, and shall include methods
for encouraging both prime contractors and grantees to engage
women, minority, and disabled veteran business enterprises in
subcontracts in all categories that provide subcontracting
opportunities including renewable energy.
This bill clarifies applicability of MWDE procurement for
renewable energy providers.
