AB 263: Scott River: Shasta River: watersheds.

The bill aims to amend emergency regulations for drought conditions in the Scott River and Shasta River watersheds. The regulations will remain in effect until January 1, 2031, or until permanent rules for long-term instream flow requirements are adopted. The state water resources control board must provide annual public updates on its progress toward developing these permanent rules, allowing for public comment. This bill makes findings and declarations about the necessity of a special statute for these watersheds.
