An act to add and repeal Section 2699.8 of the Labor Code, relating to employment.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 646, as amended, Hertzberg. Electricity: integrated resource planning. Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004: janitorial employees.Existing law, the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, authorizes an aggrieved employee to bring a civil action to recover specified civil penalties that would otherwise be assessed and collected by the Labor and Workforce Development Agency on behalf of the employee and other current or former employees for the violation of certain provisions affecting employees. The act requires the employee to follow prescribed procedures before bringing an action and establishes alternate procedures for specific categories of violations. The act requires, except as provided, that 75% of the civil penalties recovered by aggrieved employees be distributed to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency for enforcement of labor laws and for education of employers and employees about their rights and responsibilities, and 25% be distributed to the aggrieved employees.This bill would except from the act a janitorial employee, as defined, with respect to work performed under a valid collective bargaining agreement in effect any time before July 1, 2024, that contains certain provisions, including, among others, a grievance and binding arbitration procedure to redress violations that authorizes the arbitrator to award otherwise available remedies. The bill would authorize the exception until the collective bargaining agreement expires or until July 1, 2024, whichever is earlier, and would repeal the bills provisions on July 1, 2024.Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. The Public Utilities Act requires the commission to review and accept, modify, or reject a procurement plan for each electrical corporation and requires the procurement plan to include specified elements, among them a showing that it will achieve certain objectives. Existing law requires the commission to identify a diverse and balanced portfolio of resources needed to ensure a reliable electricity supply that provides optimal integration of renewable energy in a cost-effective manner. Existing law requires the commission to ensure the net costs of any incremental renewable energy integration resources procured by an electrical corporation are allocated on a nonbypassable basis, as specified.This bill would instead require the commission to ensure the net costs of any incremental renewable energy integration resources procured by any load-serving entity designated by the commission to serve as a central procurement entity are allocated on that basis.Existing law requires that all costs resulting from nonperformance, as specified, are borne by the electrical corporation or community choice aggregator that failed to perform.This bill would instead require that all costs from nonperformance, as specified, are borne by the load-serving entity that failed to perform.Existing law specifies the role of community choice aggregators in satisfying the portfolio needs for renewable integration. This bill would also specify the role of electric service providers as the same as that of community choice aggregators in satisfying the portfolio needs for renewable integration.Existing law requires the commission to adopt a process for each load-serving entity, defined as including electrical corporations, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators, to file an integrated resource plan and a schedule for periodic updates to the plan to ensure that load-serving entities accomplish specified objectives. Existing law requires each load-serving entity to prepare and file an integrated resource plan consistent with those objectives on a time schedule directed by the commission and subject to commission review. Existing law requires that, to the extent additional procurement is authorized for the electrical corporation in the integrated resource plan, the commission shall ensure the costs are allocated in a fair and equitable manner, as specified, including that community choice aggregators may self-provide renewable integration resources.This bill would require the commission to ensure that load-serving entities are enabled by an integrated resource plan to procure the necessary resources to meet their customers needs. The bill would require that, to the extent additional procurement is authorized for the electrical corporation in the integrated resource plan, the commission shall ensure the benefits, as well as the costs, are allocated in a fair and equitable manner as specified, and that electric service providers, like community choice aggregators, may self-provide renewable integration resources.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
