	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 55, Kuehl.  Local coastal program:  City of Malibu.
   (1) Existing law requires the California Coastal Commission, on or
before January 15, 2002, to submit to the City of Malibu an initial
draft of the land use portion of the local coastal program for the
City of Malibu portion of the coastal zone.  Existing law requires
the commission, on or before September 15, 2002, after public hearing
and consultation with the City of Malibu, to adopt a local coastal
program for that area within the City of Malibu portion of the
coastal zone.
   This bill would reappropriate $100,000 from a specified item of
the Budget Act of 2000 to the commission for the purpose of
implementing these provisions.
   (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  The sum of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is
hereby reappropriated from Schedule (a) of Item 3720-101-0001 of
Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2000 (Ch. 52, Stats. 2000) to the
California Coastal Commission, to be used for the purpose of
implementing Section 30166.5 of the Public Resources Code.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   (a) The Legislature, during the 1999-2000 Regular Session, enacted
Chapter 952 of the Statutes of 2000, requiring the California
Coastal Commission to prepare and adopt a local coastal program for
the City of Malibu because the city has not completed a local coastal
program, as required by law, that is certifiable pursuant to the
California Coastal Act.
   (b) The commission does not currently have the staff resources or
the funding necessary to complete the work mandated by Chapter 952
within the time limits specified by law.
   (c) The commission must receive funding and begin work on the
local coastal program immediately because of state-mandated deadlines
for its creation and adoption.  The commission must present for
public review a draft version of the land use plan portion of the
local coastal program by May 1, 2001, and Chapter 952 requires that
it complete an initial draft of the land use portion of the local
coastal program by January 15, 2002, and the entire local coastal
program by September 15, 2002.  If the commission does not receive
supplementary state funding before January 1, 2002, it will not be
able to secure the additional staff necessary to complete the mandate
of Chapter 952 in a timely fashion.
