SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This bill states the intent of the Legislature
to enact legislation to establish a Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta Conservancy and to modify the Delta Protection
Commission.
Assembly Amendments reduce the language to single lines of
intent.
This bill is a vehicle to be used for a comprehensive
reform of the state's water policy.
ANALYSIS : Existing law authorizes various conservancies
to acquire, manage, direct the management of, and conserve
public lands in the state. The
Johnston-Baker-Andal-Boatwright Delta Protection Act of
1992 creates the 23-member Delta Protection Commission
(Commission) and requires the Commission to prepare and
adopt a comprehensive long-term resource management plan
for specified lands within the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta.
This bill states the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to establish a Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Conservancy and to modify the Delta Protection Commission.
