Celebration FROM PAGE 1 three years, would be able to get out from under a mandatory conservation target. The rest would be required to save enough water to cover that longer- term drought shortfall. "This is not a time to start using water like it's 1999 ... this year could simply be a punctuation mark in a mega-drought," warned Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the state water board. Californians had achieved a nearly 25 per- cent overall cut in water use, saving an amount of water that would supply 17 percent of the state's popu- lation for a year. Water dis- tricts paid families to rip out water-thirsty lawns and tried name-and-shame techniques for celebrities and others who failed to conserve. Gov. Jerry Brown, who ordered the conservation in April 2015 at the worst of California's driest four- year stretch in history, made clear Monday that conservation must con- tinue even if the statewide target is lifted. With climate change, "we know that drought is becoming a regular occur- rence and water conserva- tion must be a part of our everyday life," Brown said in a statement. Brown issued an exec- utive order Monday that would make permanent some of the measures ad- opted to deal with the cur- rent drought. The state's roughly 400 water districts would be required to keep reporting their monthly water use, a requirement laid down last summer. Water-wastingmeasures such as letting lawn sprin- klers send water streaming into the street, or washing cars in the driveway with- out a shut-off nozzle on the hose, would be banned permanently, for example. Brown's order also re- quires more intensive drought planning by both urban water districts and by farms, and directs state water officials to prepare new water restrictions in case the drought carries into 2017. Agriculture was ex- empted from the state- wide mandatory cutback order but many rural water districts serving farms saw their water allotments cut. AstrongElNinobrought Northern California winter storms that have filled wa- ter reservoirs in that part of the state higher than in most years, and laid down Sierra Nevada snowpack that is vital to the state's year-round water supply. But nearly 90 percent of California remains in mod- erate drought or worse. Southern California over- all is heading deeper into, not out of, the fifth year of drought, the government's U.S. Drought Monitor said last week. "We got a reprieve" thanks to El Nino, Mar- cus, the water board chair- woman, said Monday. With climate change already making California hotter and drier long-term, "We need to use this moment wisely to prepare for the years ahead."

By Alison Noon The Associated Press SACRAMENTO California lawmakers passed a pro- posal Monday that would require all single-person public restrooms to be gender neutral, hours after North Carolina's governor sued the federal govern- ment to defend that state's law requiring transgender people to use the restroom matching the sex on their birth certificate. Members of the Califor- nia Assembly voted 52-18 on an initial ballot in favor of the proposal from Dem- ocratic Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco, who says it aims to help trans- gender people, parents with kids of different gen- ders and adults caring for aging parents. Hisproposalwouldapply to all businesses in Califor- niaaswellasstateandlocal government buildings, ask- ing inspectors and officials who enforce building code to check restroom signs for compliance. A state associ- ation of health officers re- scinded its opposition to the bill after Ting removed them from that list. "California is a place of inclusion," Assemblyman Evan Low, D-Campbell, said in support of the pro- posal. "Let's make a clear statement that, if you want to go pee, by all means help yourself." Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, said he was co-authoring the legislation on behalf of "thousands of transgender individuals in the state of California who feel unsafe in bathrooms, who feel ha- rassed in bathrooms, who are questioned when they walk into a bathroom." Republican Assembly- manJamesGallagherofPlu- mas Lake opposed the pro- posal, saying men's messy habits will inconvenience many more people than the bill would help. He said the bill applies too broadly. The U.S. Department of Labor'sOccupationalSafety and Health Administration has long considered rest- room access a safety issue and in June 2015 named gender-neutral stalls a best business practice. The legislation now moves to the state Senate, where it must pass before going to Gov. Jerry Brown. The Democratic gover- nor signed a separate bill in 2013, allowing public school students to partici- pate in sports and use rest- rooms of their gender iden- tity, regardless of their sex listed on school record.
