	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2804, Salinas  Air resources: Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management District.
   (1) Existing law establishes the Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management District, and provides for its governance by a
district board with specified membership and duties.
   This bill would require that each member of the Sacramento
district board receive actual and necessary expenses incurred in the
performance of board duties, and would authorize these members to
receive compensation, to be determined by the Sacramento district
board, not to exceed $100 for each day attending the board meetings
and committee meetings of the board, or upon authorization of the
board, while on official business of the district. The bill would
prohibit this compensation from exceeding $6,000 in any one year. The
bill would require the compensation authorized pursuant to the bill
to be fixed by ordinance. Because the bill would create new duties
for the Sacramento district, it would constitute a state-mandated
local program.
   (2) An existing provision of the California Constitution requires
that a local or special statute is invalid in any case where a
general statute can be made applicable.
   This bill would express the finding and declaration of the
Legislature that, due to the unique circumstances relating to the
Sacramento district, a general statute cannot be made applicable and
the enactment of the above is therefore necessary.
  (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
  (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 40982 is added to the Health and Safety Code,
to read:
   40982.  Each member of the Sacramento district board shall receive
actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of board
duties, and may receive compensation, to be determined by the
Sacramento district board, not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100)
for each day attending the meetings of the Sacramento district board
and committee meetings thereof, or upon authorization of the
Sacramento district board, while on official business of the
Sacramento district, but the compensation shall not exceed six
thousand dollars ($6,000) in any one year. Compensation pursuant to
this section shall be fixed by ordinance.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that, due to the unique
circumstances relating to the governing board of the Sacramento
metropolitan Air Quality Management District, a general statute
cannot be made applicable and the enactment of Section 1 of this act
as a special statute is therefore necessary.
  SEC. 3.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district are the result of a program for which legislative authority
was requested by that local agency or school district, within the
meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code and Section 6 of
Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
  SEC. 4.  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:
   To enable the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management
District to comply with the provisions of Chapter 700 of the Statutes
of 2005 at the earliest possible date, it is necessary that this act
take effect immediately.
