An act to amend Section 502 of the Streets and Highways Code,

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 633, as introduced, Grove. Highway relinquishment: Route 202.
Existing law gives the Department of Transportation full
possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes
the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a
process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the
California Transportation Commission. Existing law also authorizes
the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local
agencies.
This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City
of Tehachapi and the County of Kern specified portions of State
Highway Route 202, under certain conditions. The bill would provide
that these relinquishments shall be made only if the sum of
$28,000,000 in state funds is appropriated to the City of Tehachapi
and the County of Kern for maintenance of the relinquished segments.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
