What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, as part of the Soil and Water Resource Management

program, DATCP provides funding to counties for county conservation staffing.

Current law specifies the activities that county conservation staff may engage in

with funding provided under this program. The bill provides that this program may

be used to fund county conservation staff who focus on climate change and climate

change resiliency. The bill provides $1,800,000 in GPR funding for this purpose.

Under the bill, a county that seeks funding for this purpose must specifically indicate

so in its annual grant request.
