AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law governing the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission by adding a new requirement for the commission's chair to provide an annual report to the Legislature. Specifically, the chair must appear before appropriate policy committees and provide a comprehensive overview of the commission's activities and plans, covering key areas such as energy research and development, building and appliance efficiency standards, electricity and natural gas demand forecasts, thermal powerplant siting, renewable energy portfolio implementation, energy labeling, and transportation fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. The report must detail the commission's activities from the previous year, the processes used to gather input from Californians across different regions of the state, and an honest assessment of both the successes and challenges encountered in fulfilling the commission's responsibilities. This requirement aims to increase transparency and legislative oversight of the commission's work by ensuring regular, detailed reporting on its wide-ranging energy-related initiatives and efforts.
