Existing law makes it a crime for a person to engage in a motor vehicle speed contest on a highway or an exhibition of speed on a highway, or to aid or abet therein. Commencing July 1, 2025, the court may suspend a person's driver's license for 90 days to 6 months for an exhibition of speed, or aiding and abetting an exhibition of speed, if the violation occurred as part of a sideshow. Existing law defines "sideshow" as 2 or more persons blocking or impeding traffic on a highway for the purpose of performing motor vehicle stunts, motor vehicle speed contests, motor vehicle exhibitions of speed, or reckless driving for spectators. This bill would expand the definition of a sideshow to include other public places open to vehicle traffic and private property, as specified. By expanding the definition of an existing crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law prescribes certain criminal sentencing enhancements that increase the term of imprisonment for specified criminal offenses committed under circumstances, including those committed using a firearm, those committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang, and those committed by a repeat offender. Existing law requires a sentencing court to dismiss an enhancement if, after considering specified mitigating circumstances, the court determines that it is in the furtherance of justice to do so. This bill would instead allow, but would not require, a sentencing court to dismiss an enhancement if the court determines that it is in the furtherance of justice to do so. Existing law requires a court, in exercising its discretion to dismiss an enhancement, to consider and afford great weight to evidence offered by the defendant to prove that specified mitigating circumstances exist, including the allegation of multiple enhancements in a single case and that the application of an enhancement could result in a sentence of over 20 years. Existing law requires the dismissal of all enhancements beyond a single enhancement and the dismissal of all enhancements when the resulting sentence is over 20 years. This bill would remove the requirement to dismiss enhancements in the above instances. The bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes. By increasing the penalty for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including drills and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup. The act requires, without regard to intent or negligence, any party responsible for the discharge or threatened discharge of oil in waters of the state to report the discharge immediately to the Office of Emergency Services. The act makes it a crime to fail to notify the office in violation of that requirement. This bill would define "threatened discharge of oil in waters of the state" to mean a discharge by an offshore facility, as defined, including an offshore pipeline, located where an oil spill may impact state waters. The bill would require an offshore facility to be presumed to be located where an oil spill may impact state waters if certain circumstances apply, including that any portion of an offshore pipeline that services the offshore facility transports oil to, from, or through state waters. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act generally requires the administrator for oil spill response, acting at the direction of the Governor, to implement activities relating to oil spill response, including emergency drills and preparedness, and oil spill containment and cleanup. The act requires, without regard to intent or negligence, any party responsible for the discharge or threatened discharge of oil in waters of the state to report the discharge immediately to the Office of Emergency Services. The act makes it a crime to fail to notify the office in violation of that requirement. The act requires the office, immediately upon receiving a report of discharge or threatened discharge, to notify specified state agencies, and the appropriate local governmental agencies in the area surrounding the discharged oil, and to take specified actions. This bill would require a potential casualty with a submerged oil pipeline, as described, to be treated as a threatened discharge of oil in waters of the state pursuant to the above-specified reporting provision. The bill would require the operator of a vessel involved in a potential casualty with a submerged oil pipeline to immediately report the potential casualty to the 1 2 of the civil penalty collected to be deposited into the Oil Spill Response Trust Fund and 1 2 of the civil penalty collected to be deposited into the Environmental Enhancement Fund. By increasing moneys deposited into the Oil Spill Response Trust Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation."?> office. The bill would require the office, upon receipt of the report, to provide the notice to specified state and local government agencies required by the act, and, using the information that the bill would require the State Lands Commission to provide to the office, notify the lessee of record for the pipeline lease in state waters for the submerged pipeline about the potential casualty within 24 hours of receiving the report. The bill would require the office to additionally provide a copy of the notification provided to the lessee to the State Fire Marshal and to the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, unless it was otherwise provided. The bill would require the office, on or before January 1, 2028, to provide to the relevant policy committees of the Legislature a report of the number of potential casualties reported to the office, as provided. The bill would require the administrator to coordinate with the United States Coast Guard and specified marine exchanges to designate the appropriate anchorages as proximate to charted pipelines in submerged oil pipeline zones, as defined, and propose duly published designation of these anchorages by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This bill would subject a vessel operator who fails to report a potential casualty with a submerged pipeline to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $1,000,000 for each violation. The bill would require a court to consider specified factors in determining the amount of the civil penalty to be assessed. The bill would authorize an action to be brought pursuant to these provisions by the Attorney General or by a district attorney, and would require 12 of the civil penalty collected to be deposited into the Oil Spill Response Trust Fund and 12 of the civil penalty collected to be deposited into the Environmental Enhancement Fund. By increasing moneys deposited into the Oil Spill Response Trust Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation. This bill would provide that a violation of these provisions is not subject to certain enforcement provisions of the act.
(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires the legislative body of a city or county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan that includes various elements, including, among others, a housing element and a safety element for the protection of the community from unreasonable risks associated with the effects of various geologic and seismic hazards, flooding, and wildland and urban fires. Existing law requires the housing element to be revised according to a specific schedule. Existing law requires the planning agency to review and, if necessary, revise the safety element upon each revision of the housing element or local hazard mitigation plan, but not less than once every 8 years to identify new information relating to flood and fire hazards and climate adaptation and resiliency strategies applicable to the city or county that was not available during the previous revision of the safety element. Existing law requires that the Office of Planning and Research, among other things, coordinate with appropriate entities, including state, regional, or local agencies, to establish a clearinghouse for climate adaptation information for use by state, regional, and local entities, as provided. This bill would require the safety element, upon the next revision of the housing element or the hazard mitigation plan, on or after July 1, 2024, whichever occurs first, to be reviewed and updated as necessary to include a comprehensive retrofit strategy to reduce the risk of property loss and damage during wildfires, as specified, and would require the planning agency to submit the adopted strategy to the Office of Planning and Research for inclusion into the above-described clearinghouse. The bill would also require the planning agency to review and, if necessary, revise the safety element upon each revision of the housing element or local hazard mitigation plan, but not less than once every 8 years, to identify new information relating to retrofit updates applicable to the city or county that was not available during the previous revision of the safety element. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law requires the general plan to include a land use element that designates the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of the land for, among other purposes, housing, business, and industry. Existing law additionally requires the general plan to include a housing element and requires each local government to review and revise its housing element, as specified. This bill would require a city or county that contains residential structures in a very high fire risk area, as defined, upon each revision of the housing element on or after July 1, 2024, to amend the land use element of its general plan to contain, among other things, the locations of all very high fire risk areas within the city or county and feasible implementation measures designed to carry out specified goals, objectives, and policies relating to the protection of lives and property from unreasonable risk of wildfire. The bill would require the city or county to complete a review of, and make findings related to, wildfire risk reduction standards, as defined, upon each subsequent revision of the housing element, as provided. The bill would require the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to review the findings and make recommendations, as provided. The bill would additionally require the Office of the State Fire Marshal, in consultation with the Office of Planning and Research and the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, by January 1, 2023, to adopt wildfire risk reduction standards for residential developments, as defined, in a very high fire risk area that meet certain requirements and reasonable standards for third-party inspection and certifications for a specified enforcement program. The bill would also require the Office of the State Fire Marshal to, by January 1, 2024, update the maps of the very high fire hazard severity zones, as specified. The bill would require the Office of the State Fire Marshal to convene a working group of stakeholders, as specified, to assist in this effort and to consider specified national standards. Existing law requires county or city zoning ordinances to be consistent with the general plan of the county or city, as specified. This bill would require a city or county that contains a very high fire risk area, within 12 months following the amendment of the city or county's land use element, to adopt a very high fire risk overlay zone or otherwise amend its zoning ordinance so that it is consistent with the general plan, as specified. This bill would additionally prohibit the legislative body of a city or county that contains a very high fire risk area, upon the effective date of the revision of the city or county's land use element, from entering into a development agreement for a residential development that is located within a very high fire risk area, approving specified discretionary permits or other discretionary entitlements for projects located within a very high fire risk area, or approving a tentative map or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required for a subdivision that is located within a very high fire risk area, unless the city or county makes specified findings based on substantial evidence in the record. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development, in consultation with each council of governments, to determine each region's existing and projected housing need, as provided. Existing law requires each council of governments, or the department for cities and counties without a council of governments, to adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county and that furthers specified objectives. This bill would require the regional housing needs allocation plan to additionally further the objective of reducing residential development pressure within very high fire risk areas. (4) Existing law requires the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, to develop a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected regional housing need and, to the extent that sufficient data is available as provided, to include specified factors to develop the methodology that allocates regional housing needs, including, among other factors, the rate of overcrowding. This bill would additionally require the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, to include within those factors for the seventh and subsequent revisions of the housing element, the amount of land in each member jurisdiction that is within a very high fire risk area by allocating a lower proportion of housing if the council of governments or delegate subregion determines, based on specified factors, that it is likely that the jurisdiction would otherwise need to identify lands within a very high fire risk area as adequate sites in order to meet its housing need allocation. For cities and counties without a council of governments, existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to determine and distribute the existing and projected housing need, unless that responsibility is delegated as provided to cities and counties, based upon available data and in consultation with the cities and counties, taking into consideration, among other things, the availability of suitable sites and public facilities. This bill would also require the department, for the seventh and subsequent revisions of the housing element, to take into consideration the amount of land in each city and each county that is within a very high fire risk area, as defined, by allocating a lower proportion of housing if the department determines, based on specified factors, that it is likely that the jurisdiction would otherwise need to identify lands within a very high fire risk area as adequate sites in order to meet its housing need allocation. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) Existing law requires the Office of Planning and Research to implement various long-range planning and research policies and goals that are intended to, among other things, encourage the formation and proper functioning of local entities and, in connection with those responsibilities, to adopt guidelines for the preparation and content of the mandatory elements required in city and county general plans. This bill would require the Office of Planning and Research, on or before January 1, 2023, in collaboration with cities and counties, to identify local ordinances, policies, and best practices relating to land use planning in very high fire risk areas, wildfire risk reduction, and wildfire preparedness and publish these resources on the above-described clearinghouse, as specified. (6) Existing law requires, until the 2023–24 fiscal year, the amount of $165,000,000 to be appropriated from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for healthy forest and fire prevention programs and projects that improve forest health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by uncontrolled wildfires. This bill would establish the Wildfire Risk Reduction Planning Support Grants Program, administered by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, for the purpose of providing small jurisdictions, as defined, containing very high fire hazard risk areas with grants for specified planning activities to enable those jurisdictions to meet the requirements set forth in the bill, as described above. Upon appropriation, the bill would require the department to distribute grant funds under the program via a noncompetitive, over-the-counter process, as provided, to small jurisdictions. The bill would require a recipient small jurisdiction to use the allocation solely for wildfire risk reduction planning activities, as specified. The bill would authorize the department to set aside up to 5% of any amount appropriated for these purposes for program administration. (7) Existing law requires the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to adopt regulations implementing minimum fire safety standards that are applicable to lands classified and designated as very high fire hazard severity zones, and requires the regulations to apply to the perimeters and access to all residential, commercial, and industrial building construction within lands classified and designated as very high fire hazard severity zones, as defined, after July 1, 2021. This bill would specify that the above-described regulations apply to the perimeters and access to all residential, commercial, and industrial building construction within lands classified and designated as very high fire hazard severity zones. The bill would also require the regulations to conform as nearly as practicable with specified existing regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal. (8) Existing law requires a common interest development within a very high fire severity zone to allow an owner to install or repair a roof with at least one type of fire retardant roof covering material that meets specified requirements. This bill would require the one type of fire retardant roof covering material to additionally meet, at a minimum, class B standards, as specified in the International Building Code. (9) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones and to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Existing law also requires each city, county, city and county, and district responsible for fire protection within an identified very high fire hazard severity zone to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in its jurisdiction. Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal, in consultation with the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection and the Director of Housing and Community Development, to propose fire protection building standards for roofs, exterior walls, structure projections, and structure openings of buildings located in those very high fire hazard severity zones, as specified. This bill would require, on and after January 1, 2023, a water district, city, county, city and county, or water corporation that provides drinking water, wastewater, or recycled water, for water infrastructure projects that meet specified conditions, to use only heat-resilient water conveyance infrastructure components, as defined, in those areas designated as very high fire hazard severity zones. By placing additional duties upon local public entities, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (10) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
The State Contract Act governs the bidding and award of public works contracts by specific state departments and requires an awarding department, before entering into any contract for a project, to prepare full, complete, and accurate plans and specifications and estimates of cost. The Buy Clean California Act, requires, among other things, the Department of General Services to establish a maximum acceptable global warming potential for specific eligible materials, which include carbon steel rebar, flat glass, mineral wool board insulation, and structural steel. The Buy Clean California Act requires an awarding authority, as defined, to require a successful bidder to submit a current Environmental Product Declaration, developed in accordance with specified standards, for each type of eligible material proposed to be used on an eligible project, as defined. This bill would require, as part of the Buy Clean California Act, beginning July 1, 2023, an awarding authority to require a successful bidder for a contract for an eligible project, as defined, to submit a report, within 90 days of the completion of the project, that includes the amount used and an Environmental Product Declaration, as defined, that is current at the time of installation for each concrete product used in the project. The bill would require a concrete supplier that is providing concrete products to a successful bidder to provide the successful bidder with an Environmental Product Declaration for each concrete product provided by the supplier to the project. The bill would require the department, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board, on or before January 1, 2025, to establish and publish in the State Contracting Manual, in a department management memorandum, or on the department's internet website, global warming potential (GWP) benchmarks for each performance class of concrete at the regional industry average global warming potential for concrete within each project region, as provided. The bill would require the department, in consultation with the state board, to update, at least once every 3 years, the GWP benchmarks for each performance class of concrete within each project region, as provided. This bill would, beginning January 1, 2025, require an awarding authority to include in a specification for bids for an eligible project a requirement that the total project concrete carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) does not exceed the project concrete CO2e limit and would specify that this requirement also applies to design-build or other project structures. The bill would require an awarding authority to require a successful bidder for a contract for an eligible project to submit, as a part of the report required by this bill described above, an analysis of the total project concrete CO2e demonstrating compliance with that limit. The bill would specify the liability of a supplier of concrete products for an eligible project for penalties and damages that may be imposed by an awarding authority that is attributable to a violation of the requirements of the bill. This bill would exempt from its requirements concrete products under certain conditions. The bill would require an awarding authority, within 45 days of receiving a request for an exemption for concrete products from a successful bidder or a concrete supplier, to provide a successful bidder with a determination as to whether an exemption applies. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. This bill would specify that an action to implement the requirements of the bill is not a project for purposes of CEQA.
(1) Existing law requires all California state-owned or state-run institutions, except public universities and colleges and school districts, to purchase agricultural products grown in California when the bid or price of the California-grown agricultural product does not exceed by more than 5% the lowest bid or price for an agricultural product produced outside the state and the quality of the products are comparable. Existing law establishes within the Department of Food and Agriculture a public and private collaboration known as the "Buy California Program" to encourage consumer nutritional and food awareness and to foster purchases of high-quality California agricultural products. This bill would require a grower or producer that sells a listed agricultural product, as defined, to a distributor, as defined, to attest to the distributor under penalty of perjury, using a self-attestation form developed by the department, whether the listed agricultural product was produced in compliance with specified California health and environmental protection laws and specified California labor laws, as defined. By expanding the crime of perjury, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would prohibit a distributor from selling a listed agricultural product produced in another state of the United States to a retailer, as defined, unless the distributor reasonably believes that the product was produced in compliance with specified California health and environmental protection laws. The bill would also prohibit a distributor from selling a listed agricultural product produced in the state or outside of the country to a retailer unless the distributor reasonably believes that the product was produced in compliance with specified California health and environmental protection laws and specified California labor laws. The bill would require a distributor that sells a listed agricultural product to a retailer to provide to the retailer the self-attestation form received from a grower or producer, and would provide that the provision of the attestation form showing compliance with specified California health and environmental protection laws or specified California labor laws creates a rebuttable presumption that the distributor reasonably believes that the product was produced in compliance with those laws. The bill would provide that these requirements only apply to a listed agricultural product during the California growing season for the product. The bill would provide that these requirements are not operative until the department adopts the regulations described below. This bill would require, upon an appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, the department to adopt regulations to administer and enforce these requirements, as specified. The bill would prohibit the department from imposing additional fees on growers or producers to meet the requirements of this bill. The bill would provide that a violation of these requirements is subject to a $500 civil penalty that is required to be assessed and recovered in a civil action brought by the Attorney General at the request of the department. The bill would require any funds recovered to be deposited in the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund, and upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be used for the administration and enforcement of these requirements, as specified. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 establishes a procedure for the issuance of state franchises for the provision of video service, defined to include video programming services, cable service, or open-video system service. The act provides that the holder of a state franchise is not a public utility as a result of providing video services and does not provide the Public Utilities Commission with authority to regulate the rates, terms, and conditions of video service, except as explicitly set forth in the act. The act requires a holder of a state franchise to designate a sufficient amount of capacity on its network for public, educational, and governmental access (PEG) channels, as specified. The act requires that the PEG signal be receivable by all subscribers, without the need for any equipment other than the equipment necessary to receive the lowest cost tier of service, and that PEG access capacity is of similar quality and functionality to that offered by commercial channels on the lowest cost tier of service, as specified. This bill would instead require that the PEG signal be receivable by all subscribers, without the need for any equipment different from that equipment necessary to receive the highest quality broadcast television channels, and that PEG access capacity is of similar quality and functionality to that offered by commercial channels, as specified. The bill would require the holder to retransmit the PEG signal in the format in which it is received and carry each PEG channel in both a high-definition format and a standard definition format, and would prohibit the holder from diminishing, down converting, or otherwise tampering with the PEG signal quality or format. Under existing law, a violation of an order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime. Because a violation of a commission action implementing this bill's requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law, until January 1, 2023, prohibits a law enforcement agency or law enforcement officer from installing, activating, or using any biometric surveillance system in connection with an officer camera or data collected by an officer camera. Existing law allows a person to bring an action for equitable or declaratory relief against a law enforcement agency or officer who violates this prohibition. This bill would extend these provisions indefinitely.
Existing law authorizes the finder of fact in a criminal prosecution, to find the defendant guilty of an offense that is necessarily included in the charged offense. Case law requires the trial court to instruct the jury that it must find the defendant guilty of a necessarily included offense if there is substantial evidence that the defendant is guilty of the necessarily included offense. This bill would require the court, if requested by a defendant, to instruct the jury on a lesser offense, which is closely related to the offense charged, if the defendant has relied on a theory of defense consistent with a conviction for the lesser offense, the evidence of the lesser offense is relevant to and admitted for the purpose of establishing guilt of the charged offense, and a basis exists on which the jury could find the offense to be less than charged. The bill would also authorize the judge to find the defendant guilty of the lesser offense if there is no jury. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to restore rights found by the California Supreme Court in People v. Geiger (1984) 35 Cal.3d 510.
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. The state board is required to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to at least 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. The act authorizes the state board to include the use of market-based compliance mechanisms in regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The act requires the state board to prepare and approve a scoping plan for achieving the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and to update the scoping plan at least once every 5 years. This bill would require the state board, in consultation with the Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee, on a triennial basis, to conduct an evaluation of the market-based compliance mechanism to determine its effectiveness in meeting the goals of the act. This bill would require the state board to adopt public banking metrics that track the number of unused compliance instruments in public and private accounts on an annual basis. The bill would require the chairperson of the state board to appear before the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies to present the results of the evaluation and specified proposed revisions to the regulations implementing the market-based compliance mechanism. The bill would authorize, following the chairperson's appearance before the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies, the state board to revise the regulations implementing the market-based compliance mechanism so that the mechanism can more effectively meet the goals of the act and objectives specified in the most recent scoping plan.
Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board and the 9 California regional water quality control boards as the principal state agencies with authority over matters relating to water quality. Existing law requires the state board to formulate and adopt state policy for water quality control. Existing law authorizes the state board to adopt water quality control plans for waters that require water quality standards pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and provides that those plans supersede any regional water quality control plans for the same waters to the extent of any conflict. This bill would require the state board, on or before December 31, 2023, to adopt a final update of the 1995 Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary, as specified, and to implement the amendments to the plan adopted by the state board pursuant to Resolution No. 2018-0059 on December 12, 2018. The bill would prohibit the state board, on or after January 1, 2024, from approving a new water right permit that would result in new or increased diversions to surface water storage from the Sacramento River/San Joaquin River watershed until and unless the state board has taken those actions.
