With respect to incandes- 19 cent reflector lamps, included in paragraph (g) of subdivision one of 20 section 16-104 of this article, the secretary, in consultation with the 21 president, shall conduct a study to determine whether an energy effi- 22 ciency performance standard for such product should be established, 23 taking into account factors including the potential impact on electric- 24 ity usage, product availability and consumer and environmental benefits. 25 If it is determined based on this study that such a standard would 26 reduce energy use and would not be preempted by the federal law, the 27 secretary, in consultation with the president, shall adopt regulations 28 in accordance with the provisions of this article establishing energy 29 performance standards for such product on or before January first, two 30 thousand eight. With respect to televisions included in subdivision 31 thirty-three of section 16-102 of this article, the secretary, in 32 consultation with the president, shall adopt energy efficiency perform- 33 ance standards that conform to appliance efficiency standards for such 34 products established by the California Energy Commission. 35 § 4. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after 36 it shall have become a law.
