	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 308, as introduced, Mathis. Graywater: agricultural use.
   Existing law requires the Department of Water Resources, in
consultation with the State Department of Public Health and the
Center for Irrigation Technology at California State University,
Fresno, to adopt standards for the installation of graywater systems.
Existing law requires the California Building Standards Commission,
as a part of the next triennial edition of the California Building
Standards Code adopted after January 1, 2011, to adopt building
standards for the construction, installation, and alteration of
graywater systems for indoor and outdoor uses in nonresidential
occupancies, in accordance with prescribed requirements. Existing law
terminates the authority of the Department of Water Resources to
adopt standards for graywater systems upon the approval or adoption
of certain standards by the commission.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to explicitly permit incorporated and unincorporated
communities to sell graywater for agricultural purposes and
agriculture to use graywater for agricultural purposes.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
