INTRODUCED BY   Senator Steinberg

   An act to amend Section 13260.3 of the Water Code, relating to
water.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 900, as introduced, Steinberg. Water quality: waste discharge
requirements: fees: report.
   The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, with certain
exceptions, requires a waste discharger to file a report of waste
discharge with a California regional water quality control board and
to pay an annual fee established by the State Water Resources Control
Board (state board). The act requires the state board to report to
the Governor and the Legislature on the expenditure of those annual
fees on or before January 1 of each year.
   This bill would, instead, require the state board to provide the
report to the Governor and the Legislature on or before December 1 of
each year.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 13260.3 of the Water Code is amended to read:
   13260.3.  On or before  January   December
 1 of each year, the state board shall report to the Governor
and the Legislature on the expenditure of annual fees collected
pursuant to Section 13260.
