What changed

Three California Senate bills have been introduced and referred to the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee for review. SB1139 would authorize the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to enforce nonfunctional turf restrictions with noncompliance provisions. SB963 proposes amendments to the California Coastal Act of 1976 regarding de novo review standards for coastal development permit appeals. SB872 addresses funding for the Delta Levees and Canal Subsidence Fund. All three bills remain at the introductory stage with 25% status, awaiting committee hearing.

Entities with interests in California water management, coastal development, or Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta infrastructure should monitor these bills. The committee hearing is scheduled for April 7, 2026 at 1:30 pm. If the bills advance, they could impose new obligations on water districts, coastal developers, and entities operating in the Delta region. Public comments may be accepted during the hearing process.
