AB 975, a bill that would restrict landowner’s water rights and devalue and limit the use of their property within a quarter mile of any river designated as “wild and scenic,” is awaiting a vote by the full Assembly. The legislation is authored by Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale).

A coalition of agriculture and business organizations that includes Western Growers is opposed to the bill. WG members should alert their Assembly members to this bill and ask them to vote against it.
