<ns0:Subject>Fish and wildlife: invasive mussels.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law, until January 1, 2030, generally prohibits a person from possessing, importing, shipping, or transporting in the state, or from placing, planting, or causing to be placed or planted in any water in the state, invasive mussels. Existing law requires a public or private agency that operates a water supply system to cooperate with the Department of Fish and Wildlife to implement measures to avoid infestation by invasive mussels and to control or eradicate any infestation that may occur in a water supply system. Existing law requires, if invasive mussels are detected, the operator of a water supply system to, in cooperation with the department, prepare and implement a plan to control or eradicate invasive mussels within the system, and eliminate or minimize any potential downstream transport of
an invasive mussel. Existing law requires, on or before December 31, 2026, the department to review all approved plans and require all plans that do not specifically address all invasive mussel species known to be present in bodies of water in the state as of January 1, 2026, to be updated or revised appropriately to include all invasive mussel species, on or before September 30, 2027. Existing law requires every invasive mussel species to be addressed in a plan no later than 180 days from the date that the species is listed in a certain regulation. Existing law defines “invasive mussel” for these purposes as any nonnative detrimental mussel, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>Under existing law, except as otherwise provided, any violation of the Fish and Game Code, or of any rule, regulation, or order made or adopted under the code, is a crime.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require the department to require water
supply system operators to update their plans to address all invasive mussel species present in the operator’s water system as of January 1, 2026, as provided. The bill would require a plan to address every invasive mussel species detected in a water supply system after January 1, 2026, no later than 180 days from the date the species is detected. The bill would require a plan to minimize or eliminate the spread of invasive mussels. The bill would revise the definition of “invasive mussel” to mean any nonnative biofouling mussel, as provided. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. </html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require the department, in consultation with the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Department of Food and Agriculture, to develop a voluntary framework to prevent the overland spread of
invasive mussels through the conveyance of watercraft overland. The bill would require the framework to include specified elements, including, among other elements, minimum standards for watercraft inspection, decontamination, and quarantine and a banding program or other mechanisms by which to confirm the inspection, decontamination, or quarantine status of a watercraft.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>

<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
<ns0:BillSection id="id_A60B2ECF-F903-4A83-8366-25E9422739EA">
<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
<ns0:Content>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Aquatic invasive species, including the golden mussel, threaten the ecological health, recreational value, and operational integrity of California’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and water conveyance facilities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Efforts to control or prevent the spread of the golden mussel and other aquatic invasive species result in extensive operational and economic impacts to water delivery and hydropower, and have increasingly limited public access to recreational opportunities such as boating, fishing, and
other water-dependent activities.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The increasing costs of mandatory decontamination, quarantine requirements, and aquatic invasive species fees are disproportionately paid for by the recreational boating community, which cannot bear alone the financial responsibility of managing this statewide threat.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(4)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund, established in Section 85 of the Harbors and Navigation Code, is structurally imbalanced and remains in deficit, thereby requiring the identification and adoption of alternative and sustainable funding sources to support statewide aquatic invasive species prevention and mitigation programs.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(5)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Establishing uniform statewide standards for vessel decontamination,
including standards applicable to both motorized and nonmotorized paddlecraft, along with a system of information sharing and reciprocity among waterbodies, will improve efficiency, protect natural resources, and support California’s economic and recreational interests.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this bill to accomplish both of the following:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Create a statewide database to voluntarily track the movement of vessels, equipment, and other vectors among California waterbodies, providing waterbody managers with accurate information on the prior contamination status of these vessels.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Develop a system of reciprocity that recognizes and honors certifications of decontamination for vessels and equipment moving between noninfested waterbodies, thereby facilitating safe recreational
access.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
It is the intent of the Legislature to subsequently amend this bill to identify and implement, to the extent feasible, alternative and equitable funding sources beyond fees imposed on the recreational boating community, such as
assessments on commercial activities, including on international cargo shipping operations that may impact the introduction of aquatic invasive species to California waters.

These procedures shall also include protocols for the posting of the notifications on the department’s internet website required by clause (ii).
</html:p>
<html:p>
(iv)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
When deciding the scope, duration, level, and type of restrictions, and specific location of a closure or quarantine, the director shall consult with the agency, entity, owner, or operator with jurisdiction, control, or management
responsibility over the marina, boat launch facility, or other facility, in order to focus the closure or quarantine to specific areas and facilities so as to avoid or minimize disruption of economic or recreational activity in the vicinity.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Upon a determination by the director that it would further the purposes of this section, other parties or state agencies, including, but not limited to, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Lands Commission, may exercise the authority, or portions of that authority, granted to the department in subdivision (a).
