efficiency, putting California on track to produce 33 percent of its energy from renewable resources
by 2030.

greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent before 2030 — goals as set forth in the "Clean Energy and
Pollution Reduction Act of 2015" (Senate Bill 350).

information they need to keep making strides toward a cleaner, healthier, more energy efficient, and
prosperous state.

HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
