Reports on Reclamation District 108 hydro plans

Reclamation District No. 108 must report to the Assembly and Senate Local Government Committees by January 1, 2031. It must send a second report between January 1, 2035, and January 1, 2036. Each report must say if the Colusa Local Agency Formation Commission has granted permission. It must state whether the district is using or plans to use the hydro authority. If using or planning, it must include project status, financial statements on selling power, and an estimated start date. If not using the authority, it must explain why.

State reimbursement for mandated local costs

If the Commission on State Mandates finds this law creates state‑mandated costs, local agencies and school districts get reimbursed. Payments follow the Government Code process for state mandates.

Hydropower authority for two local districts

The law lets Reclamation District No. 108 and Reclamation District No. 1004 (with Colusa County) build and run a hydro plant, lines, and related gear. This authority continues beyond January 1, 2026. They can finance construction by issuing time warrants under existing state law. The board can make those warrants payable only from the plant’s revenues and can pledge the plant, lines, and revenues as the sole security. The district can lease the plant or sell power to a public utility or public agency. It cannot sell electricity directly to regular customers. Money from power sales must first pay off any time warrants for construction, then support the district’s purposes.
