The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:
(a) Extraction allocations and extraction surcharges authorized pursuant to this chapter are necessary to eliminate overdraft caused by excess extractions from the aquifer systems within the district and to bring the groundwater basins underlying the territory to safe yield within 10 years of the formation of the district and to sustain that safe yield thereafter.
(b) The extraction surcharges are intended to discourage the use of groundwater beyond the extraction allocation. They are not intended to generate tax revenues or proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges, or user fees. Consequently, they are not special taxes for purposes of Section 4 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution or proceeds of taxes for purposes of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
(Added by Stats. 2014, Ch. 350, Sec. 1. (AB 2453) Effective January 1, 2015.)
