	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 857, Wiggins.   Infrastructure planning:  priorities and
funding.
   (1) Existing law requires the Governor, in conjunction with the
Governor's Budget, to submit annually to the Legislature a proposed
5-year infrastructure plan containing specified information
concerning infrastructure needed by state agencies, schools, and
postsecondary educational institutions and a proposal for funding the
needed infrastructure.
   This bill would clarify the information that is required to be
included in a proposal for funding state infrastructure identified in
the 5-year plan.
   (2) Existing law requires the Governor to prepare and cause to be
maintained, reviewed, and revised a comprehensive State Environmental
Goals and Policy Report.
   This bill would require any revision to the report on and after
January 1, 2004, to provide that the goals are consistent with state
planning priorities, and would require a state agency that requests
infrastructure to specify how that infrastructure is consistent with
those priorities.  This bill would define those priorities, which
relate to infrastructure that supports infill development and
redevelopment, cultural and historic resources, environmental and
agricultural resources, and efficient development patterns.
   (3) Existing law establishes proceedings for the mediation and
resolution of land use disputes and makes those proceedings
applicable to specified actions filed prior to January 1, 2002.
   This bill would extend that date to January 1, 2006.
