LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 246, Brulte. State highways: Route 66 relinquishment. Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to relinquish to any city or county any portion of any state highway within the city or county that has been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment. This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Rancho Cucamonga a specified portion of State Highway Route 66, upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of the state. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 366 of the Streets and Highways Code made by SB 857 to be operative if this bill and SB 857 are both enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2003, and this bill is enacted last. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 366 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read: 366. (a) Route 66 is from Route 30 in La Verne to Route 215 in San Bernardino.

(2) A relinquishment under this subdivision shall become effective immediately following the recordation by the county recorder of the relinquishment resolution containing the commission's approval of the terms and conditions of the relinquishment. (3) On and after the effective date of the relinquishment, both of the following shall occur: (A) The portion of Route 66 relinquished under this subdivision shall cease to be a state highway.
