The bill would require the Natural Resources Agency, by June 1, 2012, in coordination with other state agencies, to prepare and submit to the Climate Action Team, the plan, that would provide for the protection of California’s natural resources, public health, infrastructure, and economic vitality from the ongoing and expected impacts of climate change. The bill would require the Natural Resources Agency to take certain actions before submitting the plan and to utilize and update a specified Web site. The bill would require the Natural Resources Agency, in coordination with the Climate Action Team and other state agencies and departments, to review and revise the plan on a triennial basis to incorporate new information regarding impacts of climate change.
