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






          Bill  
          Summary:  AB 1794 would revise the composition of the Central  
          Basin Water District's (CBMWD's) board of directors, as  
          specified.


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  Unknown local costs, some of which may be reimbursable  
          by the state General Fund.  Potentially reimbursable costs may  
          exceed $100,000.  Actual costs would depend upon a determination  
          by the Commission on State Mandates regarding what expenses  
          incurred by CBMWD in implementing the bill are deemed to be  
          subject to state reimbursement.

          See staff comments in the analysis from the August 1 hearing for  
          a discussion of potentially reimbursable costs.  Staff notes  
          that the amendments adopted by this Committee reduce the  
          potentially reimbursable costs.  Specifically, eliminating the  
          technical oversight committee and delaying the redistricting  
          process until after the next census (at which time the CBMWD  
          would be required to update district division boundaries anyway)  
          would reduce local costs that may be subject to reimbursement.


          Author  
          Amendments:  
           Change the date when the CBMWD board changes from eight  
            members to seven members to November 8, 2022, which delays the  
            time by which the district must be divided into four equalized  
            electorate divisions, rather than the current five divisions. 
           Add a provision that prohibits an appointed director from  
            holding more than one consecutive term of office on the board.
           Strike out provisions that establish a technical oversight  
            committee.
           Strike out the urgency clause.
           Make the bill contingent upon the enactment of SB 953 (Lara),  
            of the 2015-16 Regular Session.
