	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bloom

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act to amend Section 2863 of the Fish and Game Code, relating
to marine resources.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2305, as introduced, Bloom. Marine protected areas.
   The Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) establishes the Marine Life
Protection Program to reexamine and redesign California's marine
protected area system. Existing law requires the Department of Fish
and Wildlife to prepare, and the Fish and Game Commission to adopt, a
master plan that guides the adoption and implementation of the
program, including recommended alternative networks of marine
protected areas. The MLPA requires the department to confer when
necessary with the United States Navy regarding issues related to its
activities under the MLPA.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that requirement
to confer.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2863 of the Fish and Game Code is amended to
read:
   2863.  The department shall confer  as   when
 necessary with the United States Navy regarding issues related
to its activities.
