Blog: Capitol corner – Bills, budget, brick & mortar, and the busy year ahead
This year, CalTrout is thrilled to co-sponsor three bills. The team will be collaborating with the legislative authors and our co-sponsors as the bills move through the legislature in the 2023-24 cycle. The first bill, AB 809, will establish a dedicated fund to support the long-term monitoring of California’s native salmon and steelhead trout populations. Next, AB 460, will empower the State Water Resources Control Board to act swiftly to prevent harm to the environment, public health, and water resources caused by illegal water rights violations. AB 1272 will lay the groundwork for creating a more climate-resilient future for native fish and for water supplies in coastal California.
