AB 1373: Water quality: state certification.
What AB 1373 does, verified March 9, 2026
This bill aims to improve water quality by requiring the state water resources control board to hold a public hearing before issuing a certification for a license to operate a hydroelectric facility. If a public hearing is requested, the board cannot delegate the authority to issue the certification. The state board can include the costs of implementing these provisions in its fee schedule for hydroelectric facility applicants. This would ensure that the state takes a more active role in protecting water quality.
