	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Kehoe

                        FEBRUARY 26, 2009

   An act to amend Section 5019.50 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to state parks.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 372, as introduced, Kehoe. State parks system: unit
modification, adjustment, or removal.
   Existing law requires that all units of the state park system be
classified by the State Park and Recreation Commission into one of
several categories.
   This bill would prohibit the modification or adjustment of state
park units, or the removal of state park units from within the state
park system, without the commission making that recommendation to the
Legislature and the Legislature enacting legislation approving the
recommendation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 5019.50 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:
   5019.50.   (a)    All units that are or shall
become a part of the state park system, except those units or parts
of units designated by the Legislature as wilderness areas pursuant
to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 5093.30), or where subject to
any other provision of law, including Section 5019.80 and Article 1
(commencing with Section 36600) of Chapter 7 of Division 27, shall be
classified by the State Park and Recreation Commission into one of
the categories specified in this article. Classification of state
marine reserves, state marine parks, and state marine conservation
areas, requires the concurrence of the Fish and Game Commission for
restrictions to be placed upon the use of living marine resources.

   (b) The modification or adjustment of state park units, or the
removal of state park units from within the state park system, shall
require a recommendation for that modification, adjustment, or
removal by the State Park and Recreation Commission to the
Legislature and that the Legislature enact legislation approving the
recommendation.
