and corrects a federal agency reference from "Secretary
of Interior" to "Secretary of Commerce" in the Delta
Conservancy Act.

Background
One of the bills in the water package, SB 1 X7 (Simitian),
Chapter 5, Statutes of 2009-10, Seventh Extraordinary
Session, among other things, revised the
Johnston-Baker-Andal-Boatwright Delta Protection Act of
1992 (Delta Protection Act) and enacted the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta Conservancy Act.
Another of the water package bills, SB 7 X7 (Steinberg),
Chapter 4, Statutes of 2009-10, Seventh Extraordinary
Session, among other things, requires the state to achieve
a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use by
December 31, 2020. The bill provided three specific
methods for urban retail water suppliers to meet the 20
percent reduction goal, and a 4th method to be developed by
the Department of Water Resources (DWR).
To allow urban retail water suppliers to use the
to-be-developed DWR 4th method, urban retail water
suppliers were granted a six month extension, to July 1,
2011, to adopt their statutorily required urban water
management plan.
