Dam safety: state supervision: exceptions.

CA AB915 aimed to modify the regulations surrounding the safety supervision of dams in California. Specifically, it sought to create exceptions to the existing state supervision requirements for certain dams. The bill was sponsored by Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris and has been vetoed.

Supporters of CA AB915 would argue that the bill was a necessary step to streamline dam safety regulations, allowing for more efficient management of certain dams. They would highlight that it could reduce unnecessary bureaucratic oversight while still ensuring public safety.

Critics of CA AB915 would frame the bill as a potential risk to public safety, arguing that loosening state supervision could lead to inadequate oversight of dam safety. They may express concerns that exceptions could put communities at risk, especially in the event of natural disasters.
