small craft harbors and connecting waterways throughout the
state.
Existing law establishes the JSRC, which consists of five
members from each house of the Legislature, to identify and
eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency in
government agencies. Existing law requires each eligible
agency, as defined, that is scheduled for repeal, to submit
to the committee an agency report, as provided. Existing
law requires JSRC to evaluate the agency prior to the date
the agency is scheduled to be repealed.
Existing law establishes the SRTLC and repeals SRTLC on
January 1, 2013.
Existing law establishes the Capitol Area Committee, the
Continuing Care Advisory Committee, and the California
Recreational Trails Committee. Existing law repeals these
