          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016


          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 1588 establishes a program to provide funding for  
          local agencies to offer low-interest loans and grants to  
          eligible applicants for drinking water or wastewater treatment  
          projects.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  

           Cost pressures in the millions to fund the program (Water  
            Quality Control Fund). 
           Ongoing costs of $500,000 annually for five years (General  
            Fund) to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to  
            administer the grant program, if funded.
