LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law authorizes the California Transportation Commission to contract with specialists, including, but not limited to, persons trained and experienced in engineering, economics, landscape and design architecture, fish and wildlife management, park and recreation management, history and sociology, agriculture, and urban and regional planning in order to provide the commission with an independent evaluation of routing proposals.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
