   Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has
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
provides for relinquishment by the commission of highways to local
agencies upon relocation and under various other circumstances.

description of   provide for relinquishment by the
commission of a   portion of  State Highway Route 25
 in the City of Hollister prior to relocation of that route to a
proposed new easterly bypass alignment. The relinquishment would be
subject to a determination by the commission that it is in the best
interest of the state to do so and terms and conditions approved by
the commission. The relinquishment would be subject to an agreement
by the city to accept the relinquishment. The bill would thereafter
require the commission to adopt the new bypass alignment into the
state highway system upon a determination that it is in the best
interests of the state to do so  .
