Bill > AB497

This bill expresses the California Legislature's intent to create future legislation concerning the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary Water Quality Control Plan (Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan). The existing law already provides bond funds to the Natural Resources Agency for implementing an updated water quality control plan that establishes measures and flow requirements to protect the watershed's beneficial uses. By introducing this bill, the Legislature is signaling its commitment to developing more specific legislation around the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan in the future, though no specific details or changes are outlined in the current bill text. This appears to be a preliminary step toward more comprehensive water management and environmental protection efforts for the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region, which is a critical ecological and water resource area in California.
