CA SB1112

Energy Commission must identify state and federal financing solutions for decarbonization building upgrades by December 31, 2023, and apply for federal funding where applicable, with this requirement repealing January 1, 2028.

Energy suppliers administering decarbonization upgrade programs must record a notice of decarbonization charge with the county recorder within 30 days of funding an upgrade, containing property information, charge amount, upgrade description, and contact information.

Energy suppliers must record a notice of full cost recovery and removal within 30 days of recovering all charges, and must record a notice of removal within 30 days of deciding to cease collection.

For non-owner-occupied properties, the written agreement between energy supplier and property owner must require the owner to include the decarbonization charge obligation in lease or license terms for occupancy.

No state reimbursement is required because local agencies have authority to levy service charges and fees sufficient to pay for the mandated program.
