Status: 8/18/2010-Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter No. 152, Statutes of 2010
Location: 8/18/2010-A. CHAPTERED
Summary:
Existing law, until January 1, 2012, generally prohibits a person from
possessing, importing, shipping, or transporting in the state, or from placing,
planting, or causing to be placed or planted in any water within the state,
dreissenid mussels, and authorizes the Director of Fish and Game or his or her
designee to engage in various enforcement activities. Existing law exempts a
public or private agency that operates a water supply system from those
enforcement activities, if the operator of the facilities has prepared and
implemented a prescribed plan to control or eradicate dreissenid mussels. This
bill would provide that an operator of water delivery and storage facilities,
who has prepared, initiated, and is in compliance with a plan to control and
eradicate dreissenid mussels in accordance with the above existing provisions
of law, would not be subject to any civil or criminal liability for the
introduction of dreissenid mussel species as a result of operations of those
facilities. The bill would provide that neither the director's enforcement
activities, nor the prohibition on a person possessing, importing, shipping, or
transporting dreissenid mussels in the state would apply to an operator who has
prepared, initiated, and is in compliance with a plan to control and eradicate
dreissenid mussels, unless the department had required the operator to update
its plan and the operator failed to do so. This bill contains other existing
laws.

Status: 8/25/2010-Enrolled and to the Governor at 2:50 p.m.
Location: 8/25/2010-A. ENROLLED
Summary:
Existing law authorizes joint powers authorities to, among other things, issue
bonds and loan the proceeds to local agencies to finance specified types of
projects and programs. Existing law also authorizes a joint powers authority to
purchase, with the proceeds of its bonds or its revenue, a local agency's right
to payment of moneys due or to become due to a local agency in connection with
specified provisions of law, which rights of payment are defined as VLF
receivables and Proposition 1A receivables. Existing law permits a joint powers
authority to pledge, assign, resell, or otherwise transfer these receivables
for the purpose of securing bonds issued to finance the purchase price of the
receivables, subject to specified criteria. Existing law limits the aggregate
amount of all bonds issued in connection with Proposition 1A receivables and
permits a joint powers authority to charge a fee to a local agency from which
it purchases a Proposition 1A receivable. This bill would authorize a joint
powers authority to purchase, with the proceeds of its bonds or its revenue, a
local agency's right to payment of moneys due or to become due to a local
agency from the federal government in connection with direct subsidy payments
related to Buy America Bonds, which would be defined as government receivables.
The bill would authorize local agencies to make these sales. The bill would
permit the authority to pledge the government receivables to the payment of
bonds issued by the authority or to resell them to public or private purchasers
at public or negotiated sale, in whole or in part, separately or together with
other government receivables. The bill would also make various conforming
changes.

hearing prior to adopting a resolution of intention to draft a plan and, after
the plan is prepared, to hold a 2nd hearing to determine whether to adopt the

provide a copy of a resolution of intention to the Department of Water
Resources within 30 days of the date of adoption. The bill would require the
local agency, upon written request, to provide a copy of the proposed
groundwater management plan to an interested person. The bill would require the

notice at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the 2nd hearing to

building standards for the construction, installation, and alteration of
graywater systems for indoor and outdoor uses in nonresidential occupancies, in
accordance with prescribed requirements. The bill would terminate the authority
of the Department of Water Resources to adopt standards for graywater systems
