	BILL TEXT

	AMENDED IN SENATE  MARCH 24, 2011

INTRODUCED BY   Senator Hernandez

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

    An act to amend Section 30100 of the Streets and Highways
Code, relating to transportation facilities.   An act
to amend Sections 507 and 508 of the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality
Authority Act (Chapter 776 of the Statutes of   1992),
relating to the San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority. 


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 659, as amended, Hernandez.  Toll bridges. 
 San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority: board members. 

   The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority Act authorizes the
San Gabriel Water Basin Quality Authority to plan, finance, and
implement groundwater remediation activities, as prescribed. The act
requires the authority to be governed by a board composed of 7
members, consisting of 3 members appointed by the San Gabriel Valley
Municipal Water District, the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal
Water District, and the Three Valleys Municipal Water District; 2
members elected by specified cities within the San Gabriel Basin; and
2 producer members appointed by the San Gabriel Valley Water
Association. The act prescribes 4-year terms of office for the board
members.  
   This bill would require the members appointed by the water
districts and the producer members to hold office at the pleasure of
their respective appointing authorities, instead of holding a 4-year
term of office, and would make conforming changes to the act. 

   Existing law authorizes the Transportation Commission to direct
the Department of Transportation to build or acquire toll bridges and
other transportation facilities related to toll bridges, as
specified.  
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive, grammatical change to those
provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
