	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1422, Perea. Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply
Act of 2012: submission to voters.
   Existing law creates the Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water
Supply Act of 2012, which, if approved by the voters, would authorize
the issuance of bonds in the amount of $11,140,000,000 pursuant to
the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance a safe drinking
water and water supply reliability program. Existing law provides for
the submission of the bond act to the voters at the November 6,
2012, statewide general election.
   This bill would instead provide for the submission of the bond act
to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election.
   This bill would declare that it is to take immediate effect as an
urgency statute and an act calling an election.
