	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 142, Kehoe.  San Diego River Conservancy:  real property.
   Existing law establishes the San Diego River Conservancy to
acquire and direct the management of specified public lands in the
San Diego River Area, as defined, and prescribes the management,
powers, and duties of the conservancy.  Existing law authorizes the
San Diego River Conservancy to select and acquire real property or
interest in real property in the name of the state.
   The existing Property Acquisition Law requires that all real
property and interests in real property acquired by or for any state
agency, with specified exceptions, be selected and acquired by the
State Public Works Board in the name of and on behalf of the state,
with the consent of the state agency concerned.  That law permits the
State Public Works Board to acquire such property by condemnation.
   This bill would require that an acquisition of real property or an
interest in real property by the San Diego River Conservancy be
acquired pursuant to the Property Acquisition Law.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 32645 of the Public Resources Code is amended
to read:
   32645.  The conservancy may take any of the following actions for
the purposes of this division:
   (a) Select and acquire real property or interests in real property
in the name of the state pursuant to the Property Acquisition Law
(Part 11 (commencing with Section 15850) of Division 3 of Title 2 of
the Government Code).
   (b) Acquire interests in land by various means, including, but not
limited to, land exchanges, easements, development rights, life
estates, leases, and leaseback agreements.
   (c) Accept and hold real property or an interest in real property
that is acquired through gift, exchange, donation, or dedication.
