	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1375, Scott.  State Highway Route 164.
   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.  These relinquishments
become effective upon the first day of the next calendar or fiscal
year, whichever first occurs after the effective date of the
legislative enactment.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the
County of Los Angeles a specified portion of State Highway Route 164
if the Department of Transportation and the county enter into a
cooperative agreement providing for that relinquishment and the
commission makes a determination that it is in the best interests of
the state.  The bill would require the county to maintain specified
signs if a portion of the state highway is relinquished to the
county.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 464 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended
to read:
   464.  (a) Route 164 is Rosemead Boulevard from:
   (1) Gallatin Road near Pico Rivera to the northern city limit of
Temple City in the vicinity of Callita Street and Sultana Avenue.
   (2) The northern city limit of Temple City in the vicinity of
Callita Street and Sultana Avenue to the southern city limit of the
City of Pasadena.
   (b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the commission may
relinquish to the County of Los Angeles that portion of Route 164
described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), pursuant to the terms
of a cooperative agreement between the county and the department,
upon a determination by the commission that the relinquishment is 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 apply:
   (A) The portion of Route 164 relinquished under this subdivision
shall cease to be a state highway.
   (B) The portion of Route 164 relinquished under this subdivision
may not be considered for future adoption under Section 81.
   (4) For the portion of Route 164 that is relinquished under this
subdivision, the County of Los Angeles shall maintain within its
jurisdiction signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route
164.
