"Save Cal Boating Updates
Governor's Plan to Eliminate Cal Boating to be Considered in Formal Reorganization Process
March 29
Following March 21 and 28 hearings in budget subcommittees in each house of the California State Legislature, it is now anticipated that the Governor's proposal to eliminate the Department of Boating and Waterways [Cal Boating] will be - at least for the near future - "left open" in the budget process and pursued instead as a formal government reorganization plan.
The issue could return to the budget process.
A formal reorganization proposal would take up to sixty days following submission of a draft proposal to the state Little Hoover Commission [LHC]. the LHC would prepare a recommendation within 30 days. At least one house of the legislature would have to vote the proposal down in order to defeat it.
RBOC and several other boating and industry groups testified in both subcommittee hearings, and we are continuing our lobbying efforts against the proposal during this next, critical phase.
Best,
