Summary: The Porter - Cologne Water Quality Act authorizes each California regional water quality
control board to delegate certain powers to its executive officer. That authorization, except as
specified, excludes the delegation to its executive officer of the power of application to the Attorney
General for judicial enforcement. This bill would delete that exclusion, and, instead, specifically
authorize a regional board, commencing January 1, 2012, to delegate to its executive officer the
authority to apply for judicial enforcement to the Attorney General, a district attorney, a city attorney
of a city with a population that exceeds 750,000, or a city attorney for a city and county. The bill would
authorize a district attorney or a city attorney to pursue judicial enforcement only after approval by

Summary: Current law prohibits Members of the Legislature, and state, county, district, judicial
district, and city officers or employees from being financially interested in any contract made by them in
their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members. Current law defines what is
a remote interest in a contract that does not present a prohibited conflict of interest under these
provisions. Current law authorizes a body or board to make a contract that involves a remote interest
of a member of the body if, among other things, the remote interest is disclosed to the body or board
and noted in its official records, and thereafter the body or board authorizes, approves, or ratifies the
contract in good faith by a vote of its membership sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote
or votes of the officer or member with the remote interest. Violation of these provisions is a crime. This
bill would additionally require that the remote interest be disclosed at a public meeting of that body or
board and would require a statutory basis for classifying the interest as a remote interest to be
identified . By increasing the scope of actions that constitute a crime, this bill would impose a state -
mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other current laws.
