	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 392, Atkins. San Diego River Conservancy.
   The San Diego River Conservancy Act establishes the San Diego
River Conservancy in the Natural Resources Agency, and prescribes the
territory, membership, and functions and duties of the conservancy
with regard to, among other things, the acquisition, protection, and
management of public lands within the San Diego River area, as
defined. Existing law provides that the act will remain in effect
until January 1, 2020.
   This bill would delete the January 1, 2020, repeal date, thereby
extending the operation of the act indefinitely. The bill would
require the conservancy, on or before January 1, 2017, and on or
before January 1 of every odd-numbered year thereafter, to prepare
and submit to the Governor and the Legislature a report containing
specified information regarding projects funded or undertaken by the
conservancy and progress made in the 2 years prior to the date of the
report, and recommendations regarding legislative action that may be
needed to provide funding or other resources to enable the
conservancy to more effectively and efficiently carry out its
mission, goals, and objectives.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 32656.1 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   32656.1.  (a) On or before January 1, 2017, and on or before
January 1 of every odd-numbered year thereafter, the conservancy

that includes all of the following:
   (1) A description of, and the amount of money expended for, every
project funded or undertaken by the conservancy, directly or by an
entity under the direction of the conservancy, during the two years
prior to the date of the report.
   (2) A description of the progress made in accomplishing the
purposes of this division during the two years prior to the date of
the report.
   (3) Recommendations regarding legislative action that may be
needed to provide funding or other resources to enable the

mission, goals, and objectives.
   (b) The report shall be submitted to the Legislature in the manner
provided in Section 9795 of the Government Code.
