CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1380

Introduced by Senator Allen

February 21, 2020

An act to add Section 33202.5 to the Public Resources Code, relating to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1380, as introduced, Allen. Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy: acquisition or transfer of real property.

Existing law establishes the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and prescribes the membership, functions, and duties of the conservancy with regard to the acquisition, preservation, and improvement of real property within the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, as defined. Existing law authorizes the conservancy to acquire and improve real property, or any interests therein, anywhere within the zone upon a finding that the action is consistent with a specified plan.

This bill would authorize the conservancy to acquire or transfer an interest in real property, and would provide that an acquisition under this provision is not subject to the Property Acquisition Law, unless the value of the interest exceeds an unspecified dollar amount, as adjusted annually pursuant to the Consumer Price Index. The bill would, notwithstanding those provisions, authorize the conservancy to request the State Public Works Board to review and approve specific transfers or acquisitions.

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

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

SECTION 1.

Section 33202.5 is added to the Public Resources Code, to read:

33202.5.

The conservancy may acquire or transfer an interest in real property under this section. Acquisitions under this section are not subject to the Property Acquisition Law (Part 11 (commencing with Section 15850) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code), unless the value of the interest exceeds ____ dollars ($____) per lot or parcel, as adjusted for annual changes to the Consumer Price Index for the State of California, as calculated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, the conservancy may request the State Public Works Board to review and approve specific transfers or acquisitions.
