Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) to establish the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program that includes the direct install program and the statewide incentive program for low-carbon building technologies, as provided.

Existing law vests the PUC with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law establishes an 11-member Low-Income Oversight Board to advise the
 PUC on low-income electrical, gas, and water customer issues, as specified.

This bill would add to the Low-Income Oversight Board a member to be selected by the Executive Director of the Energy Commission.
