BILL NUMBER: SB 1305INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Pavley FEBRUARY 19, 2010 An act to add Section 38575 to the Health and Safety Code, relating to air pollution. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1305, as introduced, Pavley. California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: revenue allocations. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires the State Air Resources Board to adopt regulations to require the reporting and verification of emissions of greenhouse gases and to monitor and enforce compliance with the reporting and verification program, and requires the state board to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions levels in 1990 to be achieved by 2020. The act requires the state board to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reductions. The act authorizes the state board to include the use of market-based compliance mechanisms. The act authorizes the state board to adopt a schedule of fees to be paid by the sources of greenhouse gas emissions regulated pursuant to the act, and requires the revenues collected pursuant to that fee to be deposited into the Air Pollution Control Fund and be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of carrying out the act. This bill would provide that revenues generated from fees to fund expenditures beyond the administrative costs of implementing the act, revenues generated as a result of the implementation of market-based compliance mechanisms, or revenues generated from compliance mechanisms shall be appropriated by the Legislature in furtherance of the act for purposes determined by the Legislature. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
