California-Mexico Border Relations Council.
- Expands the California-Mexico Border Relations Council to include state legislators from border districts.
- Authorizes legislative leaders to appoint Assembly and Senate members as nonvoting council representatives.
- Requires appointed legislators to represent districts that share a border with Mexico.
- Maintains the council's original structure with eight voting members from state departments.
Assembly Member Alvarez proposes expanding the California-Mexico Border Relations Council's membership to include state legislators representing districts along the Mexican border. The legislation authorizes the Assembly Speaker to appoint one Assembly Member and the Senate President pro Tempore to appoint one Senator from border districts as ex officio, nonvoting members of the council.
The council, which coordinates cross-border programs and initiatives between California and Mexico, currently consists of eight voting members from state agencies, including directors and secretaries from departments such as Business and Economic Development, Natural Resources, Environmental Protection, and Transportation. It also includes one nonvoting representative from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 9. Under the proposed changes, appointed legislators would serve at the discretion of their respective appointing authorities and participate in council activities to the extent compatible with their legislative duties. The Secretary for Environmental Protection continues to chair the council under this legislation.
