	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 739, as amended, Salas.  Local officers: deputy
coroner.   Integrated Regional Water Management Plans:
conveyance projects.  
   Existing law, the Integrated Regional Water Management Planning
Act, authorizes a regional water management group to prepare and
adopt an integrated regional water management plan with specified
components relating to water supply and water quality. Existing law
authorizes the Department of Water Resources to award grants to
eligible projects consistent with an adopted integrated regional
water management plan.  
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
future legislation that would require the department to provide
grants and expenditures, consistent with an integrated regional water
management plan, for the planning, design, and construction of local
and regional conveyance projects that support regional and
interregional connectivity and water management and provide certain
benefits.  
   Existing law generally sets forth the duties of a coroner.
Existing law specifically requires a coroner to hold an inquest under
certain circumstances and authorizes a coroner holding an inquest
to, among other things, issue subpoenas.  
   This bill would, for purposes relating to the duty of a coroner to
hold an inquest, provide that a coroner's appointed deputy or
authorized deputy shall include a deputy coroner or part-time or
volunteer personnel of the sheriff coroner's office who is a reserve
officer, as specified. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
