Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 91021 — Safe Drinking Water, Drought, Flood, and Water Resilience is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

Of the funds made available by Section 91020, five hundred fifty million dollars ($550,000,000) shall be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the Natural Resources Agency and its departments, boards, and conservancies for flood management projects. Priority shall be given to projects designed and implemented to achieve both flood safety and ecosystem functions, while providing additional benefits. At least 40 percent of the allocation made pursuant to this section shall benefit disadvantaged communities, severely disadvantaged communities, or vulnerable populations. Funding shall be allocated as follows:

(a) One hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) shall be available for projects in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to improve existing levees to increase flood protection and improve climate resiliency. For purposes of this subdivision, “Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta” has the same meaning as described in Section 12220 of the Water Code.

(b) One hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) shall be available for projects that implement the Flood Control Subventions Program.

(c) Two hundred fifty million dollars ($250,000,000) shall be available for projects related to the systemwide evaluation, repair, rehabilitation, reconstruction, expansion, or replacement of levees, weirs, bypasses, and facilities of the State Plan of Flood Control.
