U cityo� Louisville <br />City Manager's Office <br />HB19-1260, requires local governments when updating building codes to include a recent version of <br />the International Energy Conservation Code. <br />HB19-1272, enables public housing authorities to participate in the state's commercial PACE program. <br />HB19-1314, establishes programs to assist in the transition of coal -impacted communities. <br />SB19-077, authorizes utility investments in EV infrastructure. <br />SB19-181, overhauls regulation of the oil and gas industry, including adoption of regulations to control <br />escape of the powerful heat -trapping gas methane (the portion of the bill that CC4CA focused on). <br />SB19-236, sunset review of the Public Utilities Commission, expands and strengthens the PUC's <br />oversight authority. In the final days of the session, a number of other bills were incorporated into this <br />bill. CC4CA was neutral on one and supportive of the others, and the net result of this complicated and <br />sizable legislation looks to be positive. Among other provisions, the bill requires the PUC to more fully <br />consider the impacts of carbon pollution; gives the PUC oversight authority on Tri-State resource plans <br />and other decisions; protects funding for rooftop solar; and allows affected communities to participate <br />in PUC decision -making. The complicated array of new PUC directives will require the attention of <br />CC4CA and our partners as PUC rulemaking, utility resource planning, and rate cases unfold. <br />New Members <br />CC4CA is now 27 members strong, with the additions of Dillon and Ridgway this month, plus Longmont <br />and Clear Creek County earlier this year. <br />Next Steps <br />None.
