Senate Bill

No. 1238

Introduced by Senator Hueso

February 20, 2020

An act to amend Section 1804 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to streets and highways.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1238, as introduced, Hueso. City streets and highways.

Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city to do any and all things necessary to lay out, acquire, and construct any section or portion of any street or highway within its jurisdiction as a freeway and to make any existing street or highway a freeway. Existing law authorizes a city to construct, maintain, and operate tunnels for street and highway purposes within and without the territorial boundaries of the city, and requires Department of Transportation approval for tunnels on state highways.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision relating to the department’s approval.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 1804 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read:

1804.

Every city in the state may construct, maintain, and operate tunnels for street and highway purposes within and without the territorial boundaries of the city. As to any such tunnels on state highways, the approval of the ~~Department of Transportation~~ department shall first be obtained.
