	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1583, Kuehl  Marvin Braude Bikeway.
   (1) Existing law regulates various aspects of parks and recreation
in counties and cities.
   This bill would require that the beach bicycle path in the County
of Los Angeles, as described, be named in honor of Marvin Braude, a
former member of the City Council of the City of Los Angeles. The
bill would require that signage for the Marvin Braude Bikeway be
placed at appropriate locations to commemorate the many conservation
accomplishments of Marvin Braude. The bill would provide that costs
for the signage shall be funded by agreements made by the managing
local governments and private sources.
   This bill would impose a state-mandated local program by
establishing a new duty on local governments by requiring the signage
and requiring managing local governments to make agreements with
private sources for the funding of the signage.
  (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 5002.7 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   5002.7.  (a) The beach bicycle path in the County of Los Angeles,
which runs 22.3 miles from its northern end at the Will Rogers State
Beach to its southern end in the City of Torrance, shall be named the
"Marvin Braude Bikeway" in honor of Marvin Braude, a former member
of the City Council of the City of Los Angeles.
   (b) Signage for the Marvin Braude Bikeway shall be placed at
appropriate locations to commemorate the many conservation
accomplishments of Marvin Braude, who tirelessly led efforts on
behalf of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, helped create the
Venice Beach bikeway, and championed many other efforts to create and
preserve open space and parks. Costs for the signage shall be funded
by agreements made by the managing local governments and private
sources.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
this act provides for offsetting savings to local agencies or school
districts that result in no net costs to the local agencies or school
districts, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government
Code.
