SECTION 79065-79065.8



79065.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
   (a) Since Sacramento, the state capital, was founded over 150
years ago, it has suffered from flood disasters because of inadequate
flood protection. Each year, the State Capitol and more than 1,300
other government-owned buildings and infrastructure of the capital
region are at risk because of their location in the worst protected
urban area in the country.
   (b) The State of California's investment of money and other
resources in the state's seat of government is important to preserve
and protect.
   (c) It is in the best interest of this state to invest in a
cost-shared program to protect life and property in the state capital
from flooding, thus resulting in opportunities for sustainable
economic development and continued protection of the state's natural
resources.
   (d) The Congress and the President of the United States have
recognized the national importance of increasing the level of the
state capital's flood protection by authorizing projects in the Water
Resources Development Act of 1999.



79065.2.  (a) There is hereby created in the account the State
Capital Protection Subaccount.
   (b) For purposes of this article, "subaccount" means the State
Capital Protection Subaccount created by subdivision (a).



79065.4.  The sum of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) is hereby
transferred from the account to the subaccount for the purposes of
this article.


79065.6.  The money in the subaccount, upon appropriation by the
Legislature to the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, may be used
by the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency to pay the state's share
of the costs of flood management projects authorized by the United
States to improve the level of flood protection in the state capital
region.



79065.8.  No money deposited in the subaccount may be used to pay
the costs incurred in connection with the administration of this
article.
