PACE, which is already the most successful energy financing program in California history, just got better with the passage of two bills that will strengthen consumer protections and establish a regulatory framework for the PACE industry.

Two landmark PACE reform bills, AB 1284 and SB 242, passed the California Legislature late last week and are now awaiting Governor Brown’s signature. Both bills passed the California legislature with overwhelming bi-partisan support (72-0 in the Assembly and 34-2 in the State Senate).
