Monday Top of the Scroll: California legislature sends major water management bill to governor
California lawmakers have approved SB 72, a sweeping water management bill designed to set statewide water supply targets and strengthen long-term planning. The measure, authored by Senator Anna Caballero, passed the Assembly [last] week and now heads to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk for signature. Backed by water agencies, counties and environmental and business groups, SB 72 would enhance the California Water Plan, require regional planning and collaboration across stakeholders, and codify supply goals to help drought-proof the state.
