	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1527, Perea. Public water systems: Safe Drinking Water State
Revolving Fund.
   Existing law, the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Law of
1997, establishes the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to
provide grants or revolving fund loans for the design and
construction of projects for public water systems that will enable
those systems to meet safe drinking water standards. Existing law
requires the State Water Resources Control Board to implement this
law pursuant to the adoption of a policy handbook.
   This bill would require the State Water Resources Control Board to
provide incentives for the consolidation of public water systems
based upon a service review developed by a local agency formation
commission. This bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1
of the next calendar year occurring after the board provides notice
to the Legislature and the Secretary of State and posts notice on its
Internet Web site that the board has adopted a policy handbook.

consolidation of public water systems based upon a service review

   (b) This section is repealed as of January 1 of the next calendar
year occurring after the board provides notice to the Legislature and
