Aa 3050 (Judiciary Committee) Flood Control Liability. This bUi is a vehicle to require local governments that approve development in flood zones to share the state's liability for damages caused by flooding, to the extent that the local agency increased the state's exposure to liability by approving new development in a previously undeveloped area, defined as land zone for agriculture or open space. .
