           ANALYSIS  :    

          Existing law:

          1. Establishes the California Pollution Control Financing  
             Authority with specified powers and duties, and  
             authorizes the authority to approve financing for  
             projects or pollution control facilities to prevent or  
             reduce environmental pollution (Health and Safety Code  
                                                           CONTINUED

          2

             Section 44150 et seq.).

          2. Establishes the California Integrated Waste Management  
             Board with specified powers and duties over solid waste  
             management (Public Resources Code Section 40000 et  
             seq.). 

          3. Establishes the State Lands Commission with specified  
             powers and duties over the management of state lands  
             including the power to apply to the United States  
             Department of the Interior for patents to the numbered  
             school sections in place, which have not been patented  
             by the state (Public Resources Code Section 6101 et  
             seq.).

          This bill contains previsions to update, clarify and make  
          non-controversial changes to various programs to increase  
          effective program implementation, including:  

           California Pollution Control Financing Authority  
          (Authority)  .  The codes governing the Authority have not  
          been updated since 1975.  The bill will be the vehicle for  
          those updates.

           The State Lands Commission  .  This bill proposes a technical  
          amendment related to school lands and patents.
