          Bill  
          Summary:  SB 1170 would prohibit a public agency from requiring  
          a contractor on a design-bid-build project to develop a  
          stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), or to assume  
          responsibility for completeness and accuracy of a SWPPP.


          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                      adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016




          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           Unknown significant local costs to cities, counties, special  
            districts, and school districts, potentially reimbursable by  
            the state General Fund.  To the extent the Commission on State  
            Mandates finds that the bill imposes a higher level of  
            service, and identifies local costs that are subject to  







          SB 1170 (Wieckowski)                                   Page 1 of

            reimbursement, this bill could result in significant General  
            Fund costs.




          Author  
          Amendments:  Specify that provisions prohibiting a public agency  
          from delegating the SWPPP development responsibilities to a  
          contractor do not apply to any state department or agency, and  
          make a clarifying change.
