LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law, the California Coastal Act of 1976, establishes the California Coastal Commission and prescribes the membership and duties of the commission. The act provides that its provisions do not preclude or prevent any member or employee of the commission who is also an employee of another public agency, a county supervisor or city councilperson, or a member of specified associations or organizations, and who has in that designated capacity voted or acted upon a particular matter, from voting or otherwise acting upon that matter as a member or employee of the commission.

This bill would apply the latter provision to a member of a joint powers authority and a member of a local agency formation commission. The bill would also correct the name of an organization and make nonsubstantive changes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 30318 of the Public Resources Code is amended to read:

30318.

This division shall not preclude or prevent a member or employee of the commission who is also an employee of another public agency, a county supervisor or city councilperson, member of the Association of Bay Area Governments, member of the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, member of a joint powers authority, member of a local agency formation commission, delegate to the Southern California Association of Governments, or member of the San Diego Association of Governments, and who has in that designated capacity voted or acted upon a particular matter, from voting or otherwise acting upon that matter as a member or employee of the commission. This section shall not exempt a member or employee of the commission from any other provision of this article.
