An act to amend Section 106.3 of the Water Code, relating to water.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 830, as introduced, Soria.
Water: general state powers.
Existing law, the California Safe Drinking Water Act, requires the State Water Resources Control Board to administer provisions relating to the regulation of drinking water to protect public health. Existing law declares it to be the established policy of the state that every human being has the right to safe, clean, affordable, and accessible water adequate for human consumption, cooking, and sanitary purposes.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.
