AB 1331, as introduced, Hueso. Delta flood protection: environmental mitigation.
Existing law requires the Natural Resources Agency, the Department of Water Resources, the Reclamation Board, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to enter into a memorandum of understanding to coordinate the implementation of special flood control programs. Existing law requires that the memorandum of understanding provide that the Department of Fish and Wildlife enforce any mitigation requirements involving programs subject to these provisions.
This bill would delete the Reclamation Board from these provisions and instead add the Central Valley Flood Protection Board. This bill would make related nonsubstantive changes.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
