Section § 25795

Explanation

This law requires the commission to provide a written report four times a year—January 31, May 1, August 1, and December 1—to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. These reports detail the commission's activities, including how much money was spent, why it was spent, and the status of funded projects. Also, for new and expanded resources, it covers details like their capacity, type, operational start date, and lifespan. The report also discusses how often these resources are used and if they meet chapter requirements. It includes an estimate of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions from these resources, done in consultation with the state board. Additionally, agreements like contracts, grants, and loans related to these activities must be summarized. The report aligns with similar reporting duties outlined in Section 80730 of the Water Code.

Section § 25795.5

Explanation

This law states that if any part of the chapter is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the rest of the chapter remains valid and can still be enforced. It means each part of the law is independent, so one invalid part doesn't invalidate the entire chapter.

The provisions of this chapter are severable. If any provision of this chapter or its application is held invalid, that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
