Governor’s Budget Proposal to Implement The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (“AB 32”)

http://lao.ca.gov/handouts/resources/2007/Gov_Budget_Proposal_Global_Warming_Solutions_032607.pdf

Funding proposal is not sustainable, in that it largely relies on
a funding source—the Air Pollution Control Fund—that will be
unavailable in future years (unless corrective action, such as
increasing fees, is taken).


Require administration to report at budget hearings on its longterm
funding plans for state’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
reduction activities. Also recommend adoption of supplemental
report language requiring long-term funding plan to be submitted
in conjunction with the 2008-09 Governor’s Budget.
