The measure requires the assignment of education and outreach costs associated with each program in a portfolio of programs to such program, and not to individual measures within a program, when such administrative, education, or outreach costs are not otherwise directly assignable. The measure also provides that a cost-effective conservation and energy efficiency program shall not include a program designed to convert propane customers to natural gas.
