relating to state parks.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 372, as amended, 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 a modification or adjustment of
boundaries or uses of state park units  , that lie within a unit
of the state park system,  that is incompatible with state park
purposes and that would significantly reduce public use or the
material, cultural, or historic significance of the unit, as
determined by the Director of Parks and Recreation, 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
require the concurrence of the Fish and Game Commission for
restrictions to be placed upon the use of living marine resources.
   (b) A modification or adjustment of boundaries or uses of state
park units  , that lie within a designated unit of the state park
system,  that is incompatible with state park purposes and that
would significantly reduce public use or the material, cultural, or
historic significance of the state park unit, as determined by the
Director of Parks and Recreation, 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.
