San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission: funds.

Senator Arreguín's proposal to modify the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission's funding structure would expand permissible uses of the Bay Fill Clean-Up and Abatement Fund to include enforcement activities. The fund, which receives legislative appropriations, public contributions, and civil penalties, currently supports resource enhancement and remedial cleanup efforts within the Commission's jurisdiction.

The legislation authorizes the Commission and its executive director to allocate fund resources toward enforcement-related technology, services, programs, and personnel, subject to legislative appropriation. These expenditures would complement the fund's existing purposes of fill removal, resource enhancement, and remedial actions along the San Francisco Bay shoreline.

The measure maintains the fund's established revenue sources while broadening its application to encompass the full scope of the Commission's regulatory responsibilities. This modification aligns the fund's permitted uses with the Commission's mandate to implement the San Francisco Bay conservation and development plan through both restoration and compliance activities.
