The act requires those standards to be cost effective when taken in their entirety and when amortized over the economic life of the structure compared with historic practice. The act requires the commission to adopt standards for a program of electrical load management for each utility service area.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20172018	AB 3232	California AB 3232 (20172018)	bill	Zero-emissions buildings and sources of heat energy.	enacted	Friedman	9	35	10	2018-02-16	2018-09-13	openstates	ocd-bill/6f7f7823-6a10-46f1-a7e0-d6b6e1fb3014	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB3232	c48a545b4fba24e74cedc967de46be7bb7ed1e5317346d9ac62fc1c7f45b1110	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
