CA AB1871

Adds Section 30603.2 to the Public Resources Code to limit growth-inducing impacts the California Coastal Commission may consider when reviewing coastal development permits for water supply projects

Restricts the Commission's review of growth-inducing impacts to three specific factors: how the project augments existing water supplies, increases regional water supply reliability in response to drought or climate change, and achieves state policy of reducing reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

Removes existing provisions related to desalination policy and the Department of Water Resources' role in finding economic and efficient desalting methods
