Bill > AB230

This bill extends the operation of programs designed to combat Pierce's disease, a significant threat to grapevines, and its vectors, such as the glassy-winged sharpshooter, by five years, from March 1, 2031, to March 1, 2036. This extension impacts the Pierce’s Disease Control Program, the Pierce’s Disease Management Account, and the Pierce’s Disease and Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Board, which oversees research and other control activities funded by assessments on grape processors. The bill also modifies the composition of the governing board for the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority, replacing a representative from the Mountain House Community Services District with one from the City of Mountain House, and includes legislative findings to justify any limitations on public access to information related to these programs.
