CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 243

Introduced by Senator Borgeas

February 11, 2019

An act to amend Section 32534 of the Public Resources Code, relating to the San Joaquin River Conservancy.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 243, as introduced, Borgeas. San Joaquin River Conservancy.

Existing law establishes the San Joaquin River Conservancy and prescribes the functions and responsibilities of the conservancy with regard to the protection and conservation of public lands in the San Joaquin River Parkway, as described. Existing law requires the conservancy to administer any funds appropriated to it and any revenue generated by member agencies of the conservancy for the parkway and contributed to the conservancy, and authorizes the conservancy to expend those funds for capital improvements, land acquisitions, or support of the conservancy’s operations.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in that provision requiring the conservancy to administer those funds.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 32534 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

32534.

The conservancy shall administer any funds appropriated to it and any revenue that is generated by member agencies for the parkway and contributed to the conservancy, and may expend those funds for capital improvements, land acquisition, or support of the conservancy’s operations. Subject to Section 11005 of the Government Code, the conservancy may also accept any revenue, money, grants, goods, or services contributed to the conservancy by any public agency, private entity, or person, and, upon receipt, may expend any such revenue, money, or grants for capital improvements, land acquisitions, or support of the conservancy’s operations.
