§ 12584 State Flood Control Funding

This law says the state will pay its share of costs for certain flood‑control projects that were approved by the legislature before September 22, 1951 and that the state had already funded before that date, as required by two federal laws.

Key Takeaways

  • •The state must fund its share for flood‑control projects approved before September 22, 1951.
  • •Only projects that already received state money before that date are covered.
  • •The rule overrides other provisions in Chapters 1 and 2.

Example

A town built a levee project in 1950 that the state had agreed to help fund, and the state gave money for it before September 1951.

Because the project was adopted and funded by the state before the cutoff date, the law lets the state keep paying its part even though other rules might be different.
