The act requires the state board to report to the Governor and the Legislature on the expenditure of those annual fees on or before January 1 of each year. This bill would, instead, require the state board to provide the report to the Governor and the Legislature on or before December 1 of each year. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 13260.3 of the Water Code is amended to read: 13260.3.
