Frequently asked questions

What does SB 45 do?

(1) Under existing law, various general obligation bond acts have been approved by the voters to provide funds for water projects, facilities, and programs. The Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006, a bond act approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, authorizes the issuance of bonds in the amount of $4,090,000,000 for the purposes of financing disaster preparedness and flood prevention projects. The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006, an initiative bond act approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, authorizes the issuance of bonds in the amount of $5,388,000,000 for the purposes of financing a safe drinking water, water quality and supply, flood control, and resource protection program. This bill, with regard to those bond funds, would appropriate $569,900,000 to be allocated as follows: of the funds made available pursuant to the Disaster Preparedness and Flood Prevention Bond Act of 2006, $200,000,000 to the Department of Water Resources for flood protection projects and $70,000,000 to the department for grants for stormwater flood management projects; and, of the funds made available pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006, $250,000,000 to the department for integrated regional water management grants and expenditures for programs and projects to increase local water supply reliability, $9,900,000 to the department to implement specified urban and agricultural water management planning and water demand reduction programs, $32,000,000 to the department for flood control projects in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta designed to reduce the potential for levee failures, and $8,000,000 to the Wildlife Conservation Board for grants to local agencies to implement, or assist in the establishment of, specified natural community conservation plans. (2) The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on January 8, 2010. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 8, 2010, pursuant to the California Constitution.
