SB 1327 allows public street and park lighting improvement districts to purchase energy in general rather than just electricity.
Current statute allows improvement districts to be formed for the sole purpose of purchasing electricity for the lighting of the public streets and parks of the improvement district. Although electricity is the primary form of energy used to power the lights, other forms of energy such as natural gas and photovoltaic are currently available for use. SB 1327 gives lighting improvement districts the option of purchasing these alternative types of lighting energy.
