AI Summary

This bill renames the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA) to the Capital Programs and Climate Financing Authority (CPCFA), reflecting the organization's expanded scope beyond pollution control. Originally established in 1972 to provide tax-exempt bond financing for pollution control facilities, the authority now supports a broader range of climate and economic development programs. The bill makes technical changes across multiple sections of California law to update references to the authority's name and mission, including in codes related to government, health and safety, public resources, and revenue and taxation. The legislation acknowledges the authority's evolution, highlighting its current roles in programs such as the California Investment and Innovation Program, Capital Access Loan Program for Small Businesses, California Seismic Safety Capital Access Loan Program, and the California Recycle Underutilized Sites (CALReUSE) program. By updating the name, the bill aims to better reflect the organization's contemporary focus on climate financing, sustainable development, and supporting small businesses across various sectors.
