Senate Bill 700 amends the Government Code to require the state energy conservation office to develop a template for state agencies and institutions of higher education to use in creating a comprehensive energy and water plan. The bill requires each state agency and institution of higher education to set percentage goals for reducing the agency's or institution's use of water, electricity, gasoline, and natural gas and include those goals in the agency's or institution's plan and requires the plan to be updated annually instead of biennially. The bill requires the state energy conservation office to prepare and submit a report on the status and effectiveness of the utility management and conservation efforts of state agencies and institutions of higher education.
