Disaster relief: Lake Oroville.

Under the Natural Disaster Assistance Act, the state share for eligible project costs is generally no more than 75% of total state eligible costs, and for specific incidents, the state share is up to 100% of total state eligible costs. This bill would require the state share to be 100% of the total state eligible costs connected with the mandatory evacuation that occurred in the Counties of Butte, Sutter, and Yuba due to the potential failure of the auxiliary emergency spillway at Lake Oroville on February 12, 2017. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Counties of Butte, Sutter, and Yuba.
