	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2593, Calderon.  Self-generation incentive program.
   Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission, in
consultation with the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission (Energy Commission), to administer, until
January 1, 2008, a self-generation incentive program for distributed
generation resources in the same form that existed on January 1,
2004, except as specified.
   This bill would authorize the commission, in any year that it
determines that the self-generation incentive program has sufficient
funds available to meet the reasonable anticipated demand for
incentives for that year, to suspend for the year any further
collection of funds from ratepayers to support the program
incentives.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 379.7 is added to the Public Utilities Code, to
read:
   379.7.  Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 379.6, in any
year that the commission determines that the self-generation
incentive program has sufficient funds available to meet the
reasonable anticipated demand for incentives for that year, the
commission may suspend for the year any further collection of funds
from ratepayers to support the program incentives.
