State Water Resources Control Board: emergency regulations.
- Requires economic impact studies within 180 days after water emergency regulations end.
- Mandates public release of water regulation impact studies on the state website within 30 days.
- Establishes fines up to $500 per day for violations of emergency water regulations.
- Directs all violation penalties to the Water Rights Fund for conservation programs.
Assembly Member Alanis proposes new requirements for the State Water Resources Control Board to evaluate the economic impacts of emergency water regulations once they are no longer needed. The legislation would mandate comprehensive studies analyzing how these temporary rules affect industries, fisheries, communities, and water users.
Under the proposed changes, the board must complete its economic assessment within 180 days after determining an emergency regulation is no longer necessary. The study results would be published on the board's website within 30 days of completion. The bill also codifies enforcement provisions, establishing infractions punishable by fines up to $500 per day for violations of emergency water regulations.
The legislation directs civil penalties collected from violations into the Water Rights Fund, specifically earmarking them for water conservation activities and programs. It maintains existing provisions allowing emergency regulations to remain in effect for up to one year, with the possibility of renewal if drought or other qualifying conditions persist.
