          Date of Hearing:   April 13, 2010

                   ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON WATER, PARKS AND WILDLIFE
                            Jared William Huffman, Chair
                   AB 1677 (Caballero) - As Amended:  April 8, 2010
           
          SUBJECT  :   Delta governance and water conservation

           SUMMARY  :   Makes technical corrections to several sections of  
          last year's historic water legislation and extends the date by  
          which an urban wholesale water supplier's water management plan  
          is due.  Specifically,  this bill  :  

          1)Corrects a town-name reference from "Osladin" to "Isleton" in  
            the Delta Protection Commission legislation and corrects a  
            federal agency reference from "Secretary of Interior" to  
            "Secretary of Commerce" in the Delta Conservancy Act.

          2)Extends the deadline for an urban wholesale water supplier to  
            adopt an urban water management plan to July 1, 2011.

           EXISTING LAW:

           1)Revises the Delta Protection Commission membership and  
            authorities and establishes the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta  
            Conservancy.

          2)Requires each urban retail water supplier to develop urban  
            water use targets which result in a 20% reduction of per  
            capita water use by 2020.

          3)Extends the deadline for an urban retail water supplier to  
            adopt an urban water management plan to July 1, 2011.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown

           COMMENTS  :   This bill makes nonsubstantive technical changes to  
          the Delta Protection Commission and Delta Conservancy portions  
          of SB 1, passed as part of last year's historic water package  
          legislation.  

          This bill also makes a technical change to SB 7 of the water  
          package.   It grants urban wholesale water suppliers the same  
          extension of time to complete urban water management plans as  
          urban retail water suppliers.
