	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 535, Calderon.  Highways:  Route 19 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.  Existing law authorizes the
commission to relinquish to the Cities of Downey and Bellflower
specified portions of State Highway Route 19.
   This bill would also authorize the commission to relinquish to the
City of Pico Rivera specified portions of State Highway Route 19,
upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best
interests of the state.  The bill would also redefine the portion of
Route 19 that the commission may relinquish to the City of Downey.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 319 of the Streets and Highways Code, as added
by Section 21 of Chapter 597 of the Statutes of 2001, is repealed.
  SEC. 2.  Section 319 of the Streets and Highways Code, as amended
by Section 22 of Chapter 597 of the Statutes of 2001, is repealed.
  SEC. 3.  Section 319 is added to the Streets and Highways Code, to
read:
   319.  (a) Route 19 is from Del Amo Boulevard near Long Beach to
Gardendale Street/Foster Road in the Cities of Bellflower and Downey,
and then, with an interruption of already relinquished route, from
Telegraph Road at the Downey City limit to Route 164 (Galatin Road)
at the northerly city limit of Pico Rivera.
   (b) If the commission determines it is in the state's best
interests to do so, it may do the following, pursuant to a
cooperative agreement between the city and the department:
   (1) Relinquish to the City of Bellflower the portion of Route 19
between the city's southerly city limit near Rose Avenue and
Gardendale Street/Foster Road.
   (2) Relinquish to the City of Downey the portion of Route 19
between the city's southerly city limit at Century Boulevard and
Gardendale Street.
   (3) Relinquish to the City of Pico Rivera the portion of Route 19
between Telegraph Road and Gallatin Road.
   (c) A relinquishment under this section shall become effective
when the county recorder records the relinquishment resolution
containing the commissioner's approval of the relinquishment's terms
and conditions.
   (d) Any portion of Route 19 relinquished pursuant to this section
shall cease to be a state highway on the effective date of the
relinquishment.
