House Bill 2620, which requires that public entities spend 1.5 percent of the total contract price of a public improvement contract for new construction or major renovation of a public building on solar energy technology, takes effect January 1, 2008. Public entities include, but are not limited to, state agencies, universities, community colleges, school districts and education services districts, and local government.
