California Pollution Control Financing Authority: name change.
Summary
Existing law establishes the California Pollution Control Financing Authority, which consists of 3 members: the Director of Finance, the Treasurer, and the Controller. Existing law requires the authority to provide the maximum opportunity for the use of the authority's financing by individuals, businesses engaged in agricultural operations, and small businesses or corporations by providing information, assistance, and coordination to facilitate financing for small projects and other financing that benefits the environment and the economy of the state, as specified. This bill would rename the authority as the Capital Programs and Climate Financing Authority. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 42652.5 of the Public Resources Code proposed by AB 70 to be operative only if this bill and AB 70 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.

MINOR
The diff shows the removal of the entire chaptered (enrolled) version of AB 786, including its official header, legislative counsel's digest, and full statutory text. The bill renames the California Pollution Control Financing Authority to the Capital Programs and Climate Financing Authority and adds new rate reduction bond authority for publicly owned utilities. Because the diff is truncated (showing only 912 of 2771 lines) and all visible lines are deletions with no additions shown, the changes appear to be primarily a format or version transition rather than substantive policy modification.
TECHNICAL
The official chaptered header (STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHENTICATED, ELECTRONIC LEGISLATIVE MATERIAL, CHAPTER 710) and legislative counsel's digest were removed from the text.
The full enrolled statutory text of AB 786 was removed, including all amendments to Government Code sections 6588.7, 7924.505, and 12100.33, and multiple Health and Safety Code sections.
