           DIGEST  :    This bill requires the State Department of  
          General Services, in consultation with the Energy  
          Resources, Conservation and Development Commission, to  
          ensure that solar energy equipment is installed, no later  
          than January 1, 2007, on all state buildings and state  
          parking facilities where feasible, as specified.  It also  
          requires solar energy equipment to be installed as part of  
          the construction of all state buildings and state parking  
          facilities that commences after December 31, 2002.

           Assembly Amendments (a) clarify the requirement to install  
          solar equipment if adequate space is available and if the  
          equipment is cost-effective, (b) provide a definition for  
          "cost-effective," (c) add co-authors, and (d) make  
          technical corrections.

           ANALYSIS  :    Under current law, the State Department of  
          General Services generally governs state procurement  
          activities, including acquisition of materials, supplies,  
          and services.  The DGS also has primary responsibility for  
          the planning, acquisition, construction and maintenance of  
          state buildings.  Existing law establishes, within the  
          State Resources Agency, the Energy Resources Conservation  
          and Development Commission which has various  
          responsibilities related to energy conservation.
