Bill > SB204

This bill would require the Department of Water Resources to provide at least 10 days' notice to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and relevant policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature before holding public sessions to negotiate any potential amendment of a long-term water supply contract that is of project-wide significance with substantially similar terms intended to be offered to all contractors. It would also require the department to submit certain information regarding the terms and conditions of a proposed amendment of a long-term water supply contract and to submit a copy of the long-term contract as it is proposed to be amended, at least 60 days before final approval of such an amendment. Additionally, the bill would require the California Water Commission to include in its annual review and report the progress of the design, construction, and financing of any new water conveyance facility in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to be owned and operated by the Department of Water Resources.
