LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1009, as introduced, Gallagher.
Sustainable groundwater management: groundwater sustainability agencies.
Existing law, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, requires all groundwater basins designated as high- or medium-priority basins by the Department of Water Resources that are designated as basins subject to critical conditions of overdraft to be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan or coordinated groundwater sustainability plans by January 31, 2020, and requires all other groundwater basins designated as high- or medium-priority basins to be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan or coordinated groundwater sustainability plans by January 31, 2022, except as specified. The act generally authorizes any local agency or combination of local agencies overlying a basin to decide to become a groundwater sustainability agency for that basin. The act requires a groundwater sustainability agency to establish and maintain a list of persons interested in receiving notices
regarding plan preparation, meeting announcements, and availability of draft plans, maps, and other relevant documents.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in these provisions.
