BARKER, PC ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW FIFTH FLOOR 1050 THOMAS JEFFERSON STREET, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20007 (202) 293-4064 [email protected] Nicholas Crockett Alia Cardwell Municipal Water District of Orange County, California Washington Update June 12, 2018 The Appropriations Process: The House and the Senate have been very active in the appropriations process this spring and in the House of Representatives, the House is on track to finish its spending bills by the August Recess period. This climate of fast moving spending bills was made possible due to the two year spending agreement reached earlier this spring. The Energy and Water Bill: In the House, the Energy and Water Bill has cleared the House Floor. The House passed a funding level of $7.278 Billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, the highest level ever for that agency and roughly a 7% increase -- $451 Million dollars over last year’s spending level. The House passed a $1.56 Billion Dollar budget for the Bureau of Reclamation, an increase of $75 Million over last year. The bill includes $134 Million Dollars for water storage projects authorized through the WINN Act. The Senate has not passed their bill through the Senate Floor at press time. That said, as a result of committee activity the Senate is planning to appropriate $6.9 Billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, a $100 Million increase over last year. For the Bureau of Reclamation, the Senate is planning on $1.493 Million. Both the House and the Senate Bills will need to be “conferenced” or negotiated between the two bodies. Significantly, it appears that both the Army Corps and the Bureau of Reclamation will receive increases over last year’s spending levels. Page 3 of 303 Item 1a The Interior Appropriations Bill: The House Appropriations Committee approved the Interior Appropriations Bill—the bill that funds primarily the Department of the Interior and the EPA on June 6th. The final funding number was $35.25 Billion, approximately the same amount that was funded in the FY18 Bill. On note for the State of California and for the WaterFix Project, Congressman Calvert, the Chairman of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee in the House of Representatives, included language during committee consideration which will prevent Federal and State Courts from reviewing agency decisions relating to the Waterfix project. Chairman Calvert is likely to be challenged on the House Floor regarding this provision, but he should prevail. Meanwhile, the Senate will present different obstacles and while the Senate may oppose this provision, as both California Senators have indicated their opposition, in the end the Senate is not likely to prevail against the House Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, who is a big supporter of this provision. In addition to this key language, there was $3.9 Billion was appropriated for fighting wild fires. The Bill also provides $2.6 Billion for Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Funds (SRF’s) comparable to FY18 Funding. The WIFIA Financing Program received an appropriation of $75 Million, an increase of $12 Million over current funding. The Water Resources Development Act of 2018: This legislation provides the legal authorities for the Army Corps of Engineers to operate. It provides funding for various kinds of water infrastructure from inland ports to locks, dams, flood protection and drinking water infrastructure. The Senate Bill provides for an extension of the WIFIA Program for another two years, until FY2021. The House Bill is silent on the WIFIA Provision. The bill de-authorizes certain sections of previously authorized projects because no work has been performed on those projects. The bill does not de-authorize the Section 5039 Account that provides $40 Million for the State of California. We worked successfully with Congressman Rohrabacher’s office to prevent the de- Page 4 of 303 Item 1a authorization of this account and his office was instrumental in helping MWDOC preserve the Section 5039 Account with the Committee. The House WRDA Bill passed by an overwhelming 408 -2 margin. The Senate is expected to take up the bill either before the August recess or in September. The legislation is also expected to pass the Senate. This legislation will be considered one of the few ‘infrastructure related bills” that will pass this House and the Senate this year. Updates on Federal Grants, The Desal Federal Grant: The WaterSMART GRANT: “Desalination Construction Projects Under the WIIN Act” was posted on May 30th and will close on July 27th. The WaterSMART Desalination Construction grant is available to sponsors of ocean and brackish water desalination projects to request funding for the planning, design, and/or construction of those Projects. It is expected that there will be two to six grants awarded nationally, depending upon the applicant pool. MWDOC staff worked extensively over the years to assist in the development of this national grant program. Projects eligible for funding under this FOA include planning, design, and construction of facilities to desalinate ocean or brackish water, including groundwater. In order to be eligible for funding under this FOA, the Project must: 1. Have a completed feasibility study that has been reviewed by Reclamation and found to meet all of the requirements of Reclamation’s Directives and Standards WTR 11-01, Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program Feasibility Study Review Process, at www.usbr.gov/recman/wtr/wtr11-01.pdf.

HAS PAGA MET ITS FINAL MATCH? CONTINUED EXPANSION OF CALIFORNIA’S PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT LEADS TO TRADE GROUP’S CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE Ivan Muñoz* In 2003, California enacted the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) in response to its inability to enforce its labor code amid rapid expansion of its workforce. What was traditionally a responsibil- ity of the Attorney General, private plaintiffs could now sue their em- ployers for alleged violations of the labor code. The law was received with much controversy, and to this day, there are growing concerns that it has become an extortive mechanism for plaintiffs at the expense of the business community. This Note traces the historical development of the law by investi- gating its expansion in both the legislature and judiciary.

  • Election Infrastructure Organizational Letter
    July 22, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives 1236 Longworth House Office Building 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate 322 Hart Senate Office Building 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McCarthy and Leader McConnell: As civil rights and voting advocacy organizations, we write to urge your support of critical election infrastructure funding in the funding packages Congress will consider this summer. Earlier this month, over 300 local election officials, mayors, and Secretaries of State sent bipartisan letters highlighting the need for election infrastructure funding. As the individuals and leaders closest to the administration of fair and secure elections, they have collectively called for federal support in meeting the immense needs they face. We write to add our voices to that important ask. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. As you know, we stand firmly in support of Congress’ ongoing efforts to ensure that all Americans have access to the ballot. We believe that sufficiently funding election infrastructure will be essential to implementing these policy changes. Elections are one of America’s most locally-run tasks, administered by local officials who commit long hours to ensuring that elections are fair and secure. Election officials are often required to make difficult decisions due to inadequate funding—such as consolidating polling places, using outdated technology, or hiring fewer staff.
