(a) (1) The commission shall establish the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program.

Terms Used In California Public Resources Code 25665.1

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts

(b) If moneys made available for the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program remain unspent after two years, the commission shall evaluate potential changes to the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program to increase participation and may make those unspent funds, or a portion of those unspent funds, available for other purposes consistent with the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program.
