This measure would urge the Congress to enact and the President to sign the Los Angeles Residential Helicopter Noise Relief Act of 2013.
Existing law, the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority Act, establishes the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority and provides for its powers and duties. Existing law repeals the act on July 1, 2017. Upon the act's repeal, existing law prescribes various requirements for the administration of the authority's debts and assets. This bill would extend the July 1, 2017, date of repeal of the act to July 1, 2030, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by extending the period of time in which the authority and other local public entities are required to carry out various duties under the act. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
