	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1070, Pavley.  County scenic highway.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation when the
department, with the advice of the Departmental Transportation
Advisory Committee, determines that a county highway meets the
minimum standards prescribed by the department for official scenic
highways, including certain standards described in statute, to
authorize the county in which the highway is located to designate the
highway as an official county scenic highway.
   This bill would require the department to designate a portion of
the Malibu Canyon-Las Virgenes Highway a county scenic highway, upon
the County of Los Angeles applying, as specified, for the designation
and the department determining that the County of Los Angeles is in
compliance with the statutory standards.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 154.1 is added to the Streets and Highways
Code, to read:
   154.1.  (a) Notwithstanding Section 154 or any other provision of
law and subject to subdivision (b), if the department determines that
the County of Los Angeles is in compliance with the standards
developed and established pursuant to Section 261 as to the Malibu
Canyon-Las Virgenes Highway (N1), from Route 1 to Lost Hills Road in
Los Angeles County, the department shall designate that portion of
that county highway a county scenic highway.
   (b) A designation pursuant to subdivision (a) may only be made by
the department if the County of Los Angeles applies for the
designation, and includes in its application a formally adopted
resolution acknowledging its desire to designate that portion of the
county highway a county scenic highway.
