A deep, deep dive on water rights legislation in California

Water rights is a hot topic that state policymakers are considering in Sacramento during the 2023 legislative session. Andrea Abergel, the California Municipal Utilities Association's manager of water policy, goes in-depth on two bills that originated in the Assembly, what the negative impacts could be if the legislation becomes law, and how CMUA is engaging in advocacy and education as part of a broader coalition opposing the bills. Note: This episode was recorded before recent activity that likely will make Assembly Bill 460 a two-year bill, meaning it would be considered no sooner than 2024.
