	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1169, as amended, Gomez.  Strategic Growth Council: state
funding signs.
   Existing law establishes the Strategic Growth Council in state
government that consists of various heads of state agencies and
certain other members. Existing law requires the council to engage in
certain activities, including identifying and reviewing activities
and funding programs of member state agencies that may be coordinated
to improve air and water quality, improve natural resources
protection, increase the availability of affordable housing, improve
transportation, meet the goals of the California Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006, encourage sustainable land use planning, and
revitalize urban and community centers in a sustainable manner.
Existing law provides for the council to award grants and loans to
support the planning and development of sustainable communities.
   This bill would require recipients of state grant funding from the
council or its member state agencies for certain projects to post
signs acknowledging the  source   sources 
of funds for the project pursuant to guidelines adopted by the
council. The bill, if a project is funded from state and nonstate
sources, would require the state funding  source 
 sources  to be listed first if state funding equals 50% or
more of  the  total project costs.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
