LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 360, Blakespear. California Coastal Commission: member voting.

Existing law, the California Coastal Act of 1976, establishes the California Coastal Commission and prescribes the membership and duties of the commission. The act provides that its provisions do not preclude or prevent any member or employee of the commission who is also an employee of another public agency, a county supervisor or city councilperson, or a member of specified associations or organizations, and who has in that designated capacity voted or acted upon a particular matter, from voting or otherwise acting upon that matter as a member or employee of the commission.

This bill would apply the latter provision to a member of a joint powers authority and a member of a local agency formation commission. The bill would also correct the name of an organization and make nonsubstantive changes.

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

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

SECTION 1.

Section 30318 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

This section shall not exempt a member or employee of the commission from any other provision of this article.
