State Capitol: modernization plan.

Existing law requires the Historic State Capitol Commission to prepare, complete, and amend a comprehensive master plan for the restoration, preservation, and maintenance of the historic State Capitol and to review and advise the Legislature on any development, improvement, or other physical change in any aspect of the historic State Capitol. In carrying out these duties and responsibilities, the commission is required to follow specified standards for the restoration, preservation, and maintenance of historic structures. This bill would require the Department of General Services to submit to the Legislature, by January 1, 2011, a State Capitol: Smart Building Modernization Plan that would be required to include certain elements. The department would be required to develop the plan in consultation with the commission and to ensure the plan is consistent with the commission's master plan. The department would be required to develop specified elements of the capitol plan in coordination with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The bill would authorize the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to assist the department to identify funding sources to implement the plan.
