	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2051, as introduced, Campos. Public drinking water standards:
hexavalent chromium.
   The Calderon-Sher Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 requires the

regulations relating to primary and secondary standards for
contaminants in drinking water. Existing law requires the department
to establish a primary drinking water standard for hexavalent
chromium on or before January 1, 2004.
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would set a deadline for the department to establish
a maximum contaminant level for hexavalent chromium in drinking
water.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would set a deadline for the State Department of
Public Health to establish a maximum contaminant level for hexavalent
chromium in drinking water.
