Statute overview

About this statute

This part is named the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Act and may be cited by that name. The Legislature states that the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority needs broader transportation measures to address traffic congestion and improve roads, highways, and other transportation facilities. The provision says a transit district needs to be established in Santa Clara County. The Santa Clara County Transit District is renamed the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and existing references to the old name are treated as references to the new name. A municipal corporation that provides broadband Internet access services must comply with the requirements of a specified Government Code article.

Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Development (BUILD) Program [921 - 921.1] ( Article 12 added by Stats. 2018, Ch. 378, Sec. 4. ) ## 921.1. (a) (1) The commission, in consultation with the Energy Commission, shall develop and supervise the administration of the Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Development (BUILD) Program to require gas corporations to provide incentives to eligible applicants for the deployment of near-zero-emission building technologies to significantly reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from those buildings below the minimum projected emissions reductions that would otherwise be expected to result from the implementation of the prescriptive standards described in Section 150.1 of Subchapter 8 of Part 6 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. (2) The commission may determine whether each gas corporation or a third party, including the Energy Commission, shall administer the program. (3) Moneys allocated pursuant to Section 748.6 shall be available to each gas corporation, or the third-party administrator, for allocation consistent with this section. (b) The amount of the incentive provided pursuant to the program shall take into account the availability of existing incentives and shall be based on the projected amount of reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from the installation of the near-zero-emission building technology. The commission shall set the incentives to encourage building designs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions beyond industry practices and to offer greater incentives for larger projected greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Incentives for buildings that serve low-income residents may have different standards from those that serve other residents. (c) (1) To encourage the adoption of near-zero-emission building technologies in new low-income residential housing located in disadvantaged communities or low-income communities, the program shall reserve a minimum of 30 percent of the amount allocated pursuant to Section 748.6 for new low-income residential housing. (2) If, following the implementation of the outreach plan pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (d), the moneys reserved pursuant to paragraph (1) remain unspent two years after those moneys were reserved, the commission shall evaluate potential changes to the program to increase participation and may make those moneys, or a portion of those moneys, available for other purposes consistent with the program. (d) In supervising the administration of the program, the commission shall do all of the following: (1) Ensure that projects funded with moneys reserved pursuant to subdivision (c) are offered technical assistance to encourage the use of the program. (2) Provide higher incentives for buildings described in subdivision (c) than for installations in other new residential buildings. (3) Ensure that projects funded with moneys reserved pursuant to subdivision (c) do not result in higher utility bills for building occupants. (4) (A) Develop program guidelines that include, at a minimum, a list of eligible technologies, a process for evaluating new technologies, criteria for scoring and selecting projects, and a process and set of metrics by which to evaluate and track the program’s results. (B) Program metrics shall include, at a minimum, the number of low-emission systems installed in each building type, projected utility bill savings, and the cost per metric ton of avoided greenhouse gas emissions. (5) Implement an outreach plan to encourage applications for projects funded with moneys reserved pursuant to subdivision (c). (e) Each gas corporation shall provide the commission with any information required by the commission to complete the report on the program required pursuant to Section 910.4.

Powering Up Californians [930 - 940] ( Article 14.5 added by Stats. 2023, Ch. 394, Sec. 1. ) ## 932. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) It is the policy of the state to reach carbon neutrality no later than 2045 and to maintain net negative emissions of greenhouse gases after 2045. To meet these goals and federal, state, regional, and local air quality and decarbonization standards, plans, and regulations, projections from the commission and the Energy Commission show the need for a large increase in both the quantity of electricity used and the functions for which electricity will be used. (2) To meet these decarbonization goals and federal, state, regional, and local air quality and decarbonization standards, plans, and regulations, the state’s electrical distribution systems must be substantially upgraded, new customers must promptly connect to the electrical distribution system, and existing customers must have their service level promptly upgraded. (3) There are many reports of large housing developments that are unable to be promptly energized. California has an urgent need to increase its supply of housing, requiring both new electrical distribution capacity and the prompt energization of new housing. (4) There are many reports of individual customers who are unable to have their electrical service promptly upgraded or energized and charging stations for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles and off-road vehicles, vessels, trains, and equipment that are unable to be promptly energized. These delays may inhibit the state’s ability to meet its decarbonization goals and federal, state, regional, and local air quality and decarbonization standards, plans, and regulations. (5) To improve the speed at which energization and service upgrades are performed, each electrical corporation that distributes electricity must improve its advance planning, engineering, and construction of increased distribution and transmission system capacity. (6) Paragraph (1) of subdivision (s) of Section 712.8 requires the operator of the Diablo Canyon powerplant to submit annually to the commission for its review the amount of compensation earned under paragraph (5) of subdivision (f) of Section 712.8, how it was spent, and a plan for prioritizing the uses of the compensation the next year. Paragraph (1) of subdivision (s) of Section 712.8 also provides that to the extent that it is not needed for Diablo Canyon, that compensation shall be spent on critical public purpose priorities, one of which is accelerating customer and generator interconnections. (7) Electrifying transportation and buildings may put downward pressure on rates by spreading fixed costs over more kilowatthours of usage. (8) Delays in energization, including service upgrades, are costly both to the customers awaiting service and to other customers deprived of the downward pressure on rates. (9) To carry out the planning, engineering, and construction of electrical distribution systems needed to promptly serve customers, each electrical corporation that distributes electricity must recruit, train, and retain an adequately sized, qualified workforce. (10) The commission should establish target deadlines for utilities that distribute electricity to energize new customers and upgrade the service of existing customers. (11) The commission should establish reporting requirements requiring each electrical corporation that distributes electricity to report the extent to which it complied with the target deadlines and the reasons for its noncompliance. (b) Nothing in paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) changes the requirements of Section 712.8. (Added by Stats. 2023, Ch. 394, Sec. 1. (SB 410) Effective January 1, 2024.)
