Water Supply Act of 2012: submission to voters.
   Existing law creates the Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water
Supply Act of 2012, which, if approved by the voters, would authorize
the issuance of bonds in the amount of $11,140,000,000 pursuant to
the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance a safe drinking
water and water supply reliability program. Existing law provides for
the submission of the bond act to the voters at the November 6,
2012, statewide general election.
   This bill would instead provide for the submission of the bond act
to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election.
The bill would appropriate $1,000 to the Secretary of State to
implement the requirements of the bill.
   This bill would declare that it is to take immediate effect as an

the Budget Bill.
