LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1736, as introduced, Juan Carrillo. Sustainable groundwater management: basin boundaries.

Existing law, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, requires all groundwater basins designated as high- or medium-priority basins by the Department of Water Resources that are designated as basins subject to critical conditions of overdraft to be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan or coordinated groundwater sustainability plans by January 31, 2020, and requires all other groundwater basins designated as high- or medium-priority basins to be managed under a groundwater sustainability plan or coordinated groundwater sustainability plans by January 31, 2022, except as specified. The act requires the boundaries of a basin to be those identified in a specified report of the Department of Water Resources, unless other basin boundaries are established, as prescribed.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in the provision relating to basin boundaries.

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

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

SECTION 1.

Section 10722 of the Water Code is amended to read:
