LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2764, as amended, Committee on Natural Resources. begin deleteState Lands Commission. end deletebegin insertPublic end insertbegin insertresources: State Lands Commission: State Air Resources Board.end insert

begin insert

(1) Existing law establishes the State Lands Commission in the Natural Resources Agency and prescribes the functions and duties of the commission. Under current law, the State Lands Commission cedes concurrent criminal jurisdiction to the United States with regard to specified properties.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would revise and recast these provisions and make technical and organizational changes.

(1)

end delete

begin insert(end insertbegin insert2)end insert Existing law requires that every local trustee of granted public trust lands, as defined and except as provided, file with the State Lands Commission, on or before October 1 of each year, a detailed statement of all revenues and expenditures relating to its trust lands and trust assets, as prescribed, including obligations incurred, but not yet paid, covering the fiscal year preceding the submission of the statement.

This bill instead would require the statement to be filed with the commission on or before December 31 of each year.

(2)

end delete

begin insert(end insertbegin insert3)end insert The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including emergency drills and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup, and to represent the state in any coordinated response efforts with the federal government. Existing law imposes various administrative civil and criminal penalties on a person that violates specified provisions of the act. The act, for purposes of specified provisions primarily under the jurisdiction of the State Lands Commission, defines marine waters to exclude waters in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers and Delta, as specified.

This bill would no longer exclude from the definition of marine waters for this purpose the waters in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers and Delta and would further revise the definition of marine waters to include waterways used for waterborne commercial vessel traffic to the Port of Sacramento and the Port of Stockton. By expanding the scope of crimes within the act, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

begin insert

(4) Existing law authorizes a grant in the form of a trust of specified tidelands and submerged lands to the County of Orange, subject to certain restrictions, including that the lands remain available for public use.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would modify the terms of the grant to change the conditions for expenditures by the trust and to permit the trustee to acquire additional property in order to further the purposes of the trust, if specific conditions are met.

end insert
begin insert

(5) Existing law establishes the State Air Resources Board, which is responsible for control of emissions from motor vehicles and is designated the air pollution control agency for all purposes set forth in federal law. Existing law requires the state board to consist of 12 members, who are appointed based on certain qualifications. Existing law provides for the compensation of those members.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would correct an erroneous cross-reference to clarify that certain members of the state board are prohibited from receiving compensation for serving on the state board, but are required to be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses, as specified.

end insert
begin delete

(3)

end delete

begin insert(end insertbegin insert6)end insert The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

30and assets specified in subdivision (b) are not sufficient to pay the
31costs for the duties specified in paragraph (1), the commission
32shall exempt the local trustee of granted public trust lands from
33performing those duties for which the revenues are not sufficient,
34or grant a deadline extension from the performance of those duties
