Blog: California water policy – What happened in 2023 and where are we going?
The year started with a bang, with a lot of new Members of the Legislature, and more seasoned Members, invigorated and motivated to tackle some major water policy and funding issues for California. While some significant water policy changes were passed by the Legislature this year (with much controversy), there is still much left to debate and discuss in the second year of the two-year session, which will begin on January 3, 2024. One of those major negotiations will include debate over a water bond to be placed on the November 2024 ballot for the voters of California.
