COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Utilities by a vote of 13 to 0.

This bill establishes the Energy Efficiency Implementation Act,
which allows the Office of Administration to deposit 2.5% of
their total cost savings into the Office of Administration
Revolving Administrative Trust Fund.  "Cost savings" is defined
as expenses eliminated and future replacement expenditures
avoided as a direct result of implementing guaranteed energy cost
savings.  A report outlining the cost savings will be prepared at
least annually for the Governor, President Pro Tem of the Senate,
and Speaker of the House of Representatives.  The Office of
Administration is given authority to establish policies and
procedures for facility management and valuation, coordinate a
state facility review, implement a capital improvement plan,
evaluate state facility investment proposals, establish
performance measures for facility management operations, and
prepare annual reports concerning operational savings.

FISCAL NOTE:  Estimated Income on General Revenue Fund of Unknown
in FY 2006, FY 2007, and FY 2008.  Estimated Income on Other
State Funds of Unknown in FY 2006, FY 2007, and FY 2008.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill permits the Office of
Administration to retain 2.5% of energy cost savings to
administer the implementation of energy cost savings contracts.
Currently, that money is deposited into the General Revenue Fund.

Cooper (158); Office of Administration; and Johnson Controls,
