Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Repealing the Public Utilities Commission's energy efficiency and low-income assistance programs will require Other Special Revenue deallocations of $8,500,000 in fiscal year 2004-05, $8,691,250 in fiscal year 2005-06 and $8,908,531 in fiscal year 2006-07.  These deallocations are due to the elimination of the Conservation Program Fund and Conservation Administrative Fund as required by this bill.   Costs associated with developing and implementing a plan to return unspent monies collected pursuant to these programs to ratepayers can be absorbed by the Public Utilities Commission utilizing existing budgeted resources.  The fiscal impact of repealing P&S 2001, Chapter 45, sections 1 and 2 can not be determined at this time.
