Bill > AB1469

This bill makes technical amendments to existing California law regarding disaster preparedness for public water systems with 10,000 or more service connections. The bill removes specific references to the definition of "public water system" in multiple sections of the law and adds a new subsection at the end that defines the term by referencing the existing definition in the Health and Safety Code. The core requirements remain unchanged: these water systems must review and revise their disaster preparedness plans in collaboration with local agencies like fire departments and the Office of Emergency Services, ensuring their plans can address potential disaster scenarios. The systems are still required to assess and report on their emergency response to the Legislature within six months after a declared state of emergency and implement recommendations in a timely manner. The bill essentially clarifies and standardizes the language around these existing requirements without substantively changing the underlying obligations of public water systems in emergency preparedness.
