Existing law requires the Department of Community Services and Development to develop and administer the Energy Efficiency Low-Income Weatherization Program. This bill would require the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to develop and administer the Multifamily Rapid Deployment Building Decarbonization and Extreme Heat Program to identify and deploy replicable, scalable, and affordable upgrades for multifamily building types that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and improve the health and comfort of residents in multifamily buildings, as provided. The bill would require the department to develop the guidelines for the program on or before April 1, 2023, and to begin implementing the program on or before September 30, 2023. The Public Utilities Act requires the Public Utilities Commission, until June 30, 2023, to annually allocate $50,000,000 of revenues received by gas corporations as a result of the direct allocation of greenhouse gas emissions allowances provided to gas corporations to fund the Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Development Program and the Technology and Equipment for Clean Heating (TECH) Initiative. This bill would extend the annual allocation of the $50,000,000 from those moneys to fund the TECH Initiative until June 30, 2030. The bill would specify that moneys appropriated by the Legislature for the TECH Initiative are available to provide statewide incentives. Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or an order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement is a crime. Because a violation of an order of the commission implementing the allocation would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
