Jared William Huffman, Chair
AB 1677 (Caballero) - As Amended: April 8, 2010
SUBJECT : Delta governance and water conservation
SUMMARY : Makes technical corrections to several sections of
last year's historic water legislation and extends the date by
which an urban wholesale water supplier's water management plan
is due. Specifically, this bill :
1)Corrects a town-name reference from "Osladin" to "Isleton" in
the Delta Protection Commission legislation and corrects a
federal agency reference from "Secretary of Interior" to
"Secretary of Commerce" in the Delta Conservancy Act.
2)Extends the deadline for an urban wholesale water supplier to
adopt an urban water management plan to July 1, 2011.
EXISTING LAW:
1)Revises the Delta Protection Commission membership and
authorities and establishes the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
Conservancy.
2)Requires each urban retail water supplier to develop urban
water use targets which result in a 20% reduction of per
capita water use by 2020.
3)Extends the deadline for an urban retail water supplier to
adopt an urban water management plan to July 1, 2011.
FISCAL EFFECT : Unknown
COMMENTS : This bill makes nonsubstantive technical changes to
the Delta Protection Commission and Delta Conservancy portions
of SB 1, passed as part of last year's historic water package
legislation.
This bill also makes a technical change to SB 7 of the water
package. It grants urban wholesale water suppliers the same
extension of time to complete urban water management plans as
urban retail water suppliers.
