(1) Existing law creates the Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2012, which, if approved by the voters, would authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of $11,140,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance a safe drinking water and water supply reliability program. Existing law provides for the submission of the bond act to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election. This bill would repeal these provisions. (2) Under existing law, various measures have been approved by the voters to provide funds for water supply and protection facilities and programs. This bill would enact the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality, and Water Supply Act of 2014, which, if adopted by the voters, would authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of $7,500,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance a safe drinking water, water quality, and water supply program. The bill would provide for the submission of the bond act to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election. (3) Existing law, the Water Conservation and Water Quality Bond Law of 1986, approved by the voters at the June 3, 1986, statewide primary election, authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $150,000,000 for the Department of Water Resources to make prescribed loans to local agencies for the purposes of financing a water conservation and water quality program. Existing law, the Water Conservation Bond Law of 1988, approved by the voters at the November 8, 1988, statewide general election, authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $60,000,000 for the Department of Water Resources to make prescribed loans to local agencies for the purposes of financing a water conservation program. Existing law, the Safe, Clean, Reliable Water Supply Act, a bond act approved by the voters as Proposition 204 at the November 5, 1996, statewide general election, authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $995,000,000 for grants, loans, and direct expenditures for the purposes of financing a safe, clean, reliable water supply program. Existing law, the Costa-Machado Water Act of 2000, a bond act approved by the voters as Proposition 13 at the March 7, 2000, statewide primary election, authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds in the amount of $1,970,000,000 for grants, loans, and direct expenditures for the purposes of financing a safe drinking water, clean water, watershed protection, and flood protection program. This bill would authorize the Legislature to appropriate any unencumbered proceeds of bonds from the above-described bond acts in their respective bond funds as of November 5, 2014, for prescribed purposes as described in the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality, and Water Supply Act of 2014. This bill would provide for the submission of these provisions to the voters at the November 4, 2014, statewide general election. (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
