	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 857, Soto.  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 Fontana 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 246 to be operative if this
bill and SB 246 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.
   (b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the commission may
relinquish to the City of Fontana the portion of Route 66 that is
located within the city limits or the sphere of influence of the
city, upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the
best interests of the state.
   (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.
   (B) The portion of Route 66 relinquished under this subdivision
may not be considered for future adoption under Section 81.
   (c) The City of Fontana shall ensure the continuity of traffic
flow on the relinquished portion of Route 66, including any traffic
signal progression.
   (d) For relinquished portions of Route 66, the City of Fontana
shall maintain signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route
66.
  SEC. 1.5.  Section 366 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended
to read:
   366.  (a) Route 66 is from Route 210 near San Dimas to Route 215
in San Bernardino.
   (b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the commission may
relinquish to the City of Fontana and the City of Rancho Cucamonga
the respective portion of Route 66 that is located within the city
limits or the sphere of influence of each city, upon terms and
conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of the
state.
   (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

signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route 66.
  SEC. 2.  Section 1.5 of this bill incorporates amendments to
Section 366 of the Streets and Highways Code proposed by both this
bill and SB 246.  It shall only become operative if (1) both bills
are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2003, (2)
each bill amends Section 366 of the Streets and Highways Code, and
(3) this bill is enacted after SB 246, in which case Section 1 of
this bill shall not become operative.
