CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 70

Introduced by Senator Nielsen

January 09, 2019

An act to amend Section 11102 of the Water Code, relating to water resources.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 70, as introduced, Nielsen. Central Valley Project: state agency.

Existing law authorizes the Central Valley Project to provide for the construction, in a specified manner, of a system of works for the conservation, development, storage, distribution, and utilization of water, with incidental generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. Existing law defines the term “state agency” for the purpose of the project.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that definition.

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

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