STAFF COMMENTS:
This bill meets the criteria for referral to the Suspense
File. While ongoing funding for the CLRC is included in
the budget, staff notes that, under current law, the CLRC
may study only matters referred to it by concurrent
resolution of the Legislature. Thus, this resolution
provides the CLRC's raison d'etre. The CLRC is proposed to
be funded at $675,000 and 6.5 personnel years
The CLRC is currently authorized to study 19 specific
topics. This resolution provides reauthorization to allow
continued study of 18 previously authorized topics (with
the expansion of two of those topics), the deletion of one
study topic, and the addition of one topic. Specifically
the resolution deletes Environmental Quality and Natural
Resources as a study topic and adds Subdivision Map Act and
Mitigation Fee Act.
Prior legislation includes: SCR 43 (Kopp of 1996), SCR 3
(Kopp of 1997), SCR 65 (Kopp of 1998), and ACR 17 (Wayne of
1999). No resolution was passed in 2000.
