RE: Legislative Status Report Week Ending 3/30


RECENT EVENTS:

-- SB 28x (Sher/Battin), which makes various changes to the siting process
including many IEP-sponsored proposals, passed off the Senate floor last
week 37 to 1.  Asm. Wright,s office is now working with the authors and IEP
to make additional changes to the bill, as opposed to moving more siting
issues in AB 36x (Wright) (although that is still an option).  Chris Ellison
and I are continuing to work with the authors, staff to develop additional
language. The bill is scheduled to be heard on Monday in the Assembly Energy
Costs and Availability Committee.  We are waiting to review new language
from the author,s office.  At this point we are recommending the bill does
NOT move forward without this additional language.  I will let members know
the status of these amendments before the hearing.

-- IEP has a meeting with the newly-elected Assembly Republican Leader Dave
Cox (Sacramento) on Tuesday at 8:30 am to discuss the Republican,s position
on siting and direct access, and possibly linking those issues with the
passage SB 5x (Sher), the billion dollar energy conservation bill on the
Assembly side.  Although they are not the only issues IEP and its members
want resolved in this legislative session, they are currently the most
visible and active issues with the best chance of passage.

-- AB 60x (Hertzberg), which ties to the siting process the requirement that
a developer enter into a contract to
