# Tulare County Legislative Subcommittee Meeting - 9/15/26

The Tulare County Legislative Subcommittee met on September 15, 2026, to review state legislation affecting water systems and discuss the county’s legislative work. The committee reviewed AB 2619, concerning data-center developers’ disclosure of water-use plans; AB 2180, proposing changes to Proposition 218; SB 1417, concerning disaster preparedness requirements for public water systems; and AB 2739, which would establish a water-affordability fund dependent on future appropriations. Several bills were enrolled and awaiting the governor’s action. Members also discussed the county’s data-center moratorium, including potential water and electricity demands and the need for further evaluation. No contracts, purchases, procurement approvals, or spending votes were identified.

The committee plans to circulate portions of the county’s legislative platform for members’ comments ahead of a proposed January adoption, and discussed a possible October 5 meeting. Members also planned to receive an update on which bills were ultimately enacted. The meeting included discussion of the Safer negotiations in trailer bills, but no specific funding decision or procurement action was reported.
