	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 392, as amended, Atkins. San Diego River Conservancy.
   The San Diego River Conservancy Act establishes the San Diego
River Conservancy in the Natural Resources Agency, and prescribes the
territory, membership, and functions and duties of the conservancy
with regard to, among other things, the acquisition, protection, and
management of public lands within the San Diego River area, as
defined. Existing law provides that the act will remain in effect
until January 1, 2020.
   This bill would delete the January 1, 2020, repeal date, thereby
extending the operation of the act indefinitely.  The bill would
require the conservancy, on or before January 1, 2017, and on or
before January 1 of every odd-numbered year thereafter, to prepare
and submit to the Governor and the Legislature a report containing
specified information   regarding projects funded or
undertaken by the conservancy and progress made in the 2 years prior
to the date of the report, and recommendations regarding legislative
action that may be needed to provide funding or other resources to
enable the conservancy to more effectively and efficiently carry out
its mission, goals, and objectives. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
