	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 431, as introduced, Mullin. San Francisco Bay Conservation and
Development Commission: San Francisco Bay Plan: review.
   Existing law creates the San Francisco Bay Conservation and
Development Commission and requires the commission to make a
continuing review of the San Francisco Bay Plan, which is a
comprehensive and enforceable plan for the conservation of the water
in the San Francisco Bay and the development of its shoreline.
Existing law requires the commission, in making the review, to
coordinate its planning with planning by local agencies and, to avoid
duplication of work, to make maximum use of data and information
available from various planning programs such as the State Office of
Planning and Research and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water
Quality Control Board.
   The Metropolitan Transportation Commission Act creates the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission as a regional agency in the
9-county San Francisco Bay Area with comprehensive regional
transportation planning and other related responsibilities.
   This bill would require the commission to also make maximum use of
data and information available from the planning programs of the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
