	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1873, as introduced, Galgiani. County costs: mutual aid:
reimbursement.
   The California Emergency Services Act provides for the rendering
of mutual aid by the state government and by the political
subdivisions of this state to mitigate the effects of natural,
manmade, or war-caused emergencies. The act requires aid to be
rendered in accordance with approved emergency plans during any state
of war emergency or state of emergency when the need arises for
outside aid in any county, city and county, or city. The act
authorizes state agencies and political subdivisions to exercise
mutual aid powers in accordance with the Master Mutual Aid Agreement
and local ordinances, resolutions, agreements, or plans in periods
other than a state of war emergency, a state of emergency, or a local
emergency.
   This bill would appropriate an unspecified sum from the General
Fund to the County of San Joaquin and Calaveras County to reimburse
those counties for the costs they incurred during 2012 for the
excavation and recovery of victims of a serial killing and costs
incurred for assistance provided by outside agencies that offered
mutual aid.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
