AB 3056 – Future Desalination Legislation California – USA

On the Assembly floor is a proposal to pursue statewide desalination policies. Assembly Bill 3056 (AB 3056) would use the Cobey-Porter Saline Water Conservation Law to make a legislative push for desalination proposals. The Cobey-Porter Saline Water Conservation Law requires the state to develop cost-effective and efficient water supply technologies. “Desalination technology is now feasible to help provide significant new water supplies from seawater, brackish water, and reclaimed water,” the language of AB 3056 stated. “This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation relating to desalination.”
