§ 2950 Salton Sea Definitions

This law defines special words used in other laws about the Salton Sea and helping poor communities. It explains what 'agency,' 'poor community,' and other terms mean.

Key Takeaways

  • •This law only gives meanings to words—it doesn’t say what to do.
  • •Words like 'disadvantaged community' have special rules from another law (Section 80002).
  • •The 'Salton Sea Management Plan' is a 10-year plan from 2018 (or newer) to fix problems at the Salton Sea.

Example

A small town near the Salton Sea wants money to clean up dust from the drying lake.

The town must check if it's called a 'disadvantaged community' using the rules in this law to get help.
