Summary

The California Constitution requires the reasonable and beneficial use of water. Existing law establishes various state water policies, including the policy that the people of the state have a paramount interest in the use of all the water of the state and that the state is required to determine what water of the state, surface and underground, can be converted to public use or controlled for public protection. This bill would declare that it is the policy of the state that groundwater resources be managed sustainably. This bill would appropriate $4,500 from the General Fund to the State Water Resources Control Board for its administrative costs during the 2014–15 fiscal year. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
