	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2995, Nunez  California Tahoe Conservancy: acquisition of real
property.
   Existing law establishes the California Tahoe Conservancy as a
state agency within the Resources Agency and authorizes the
conservancy to select and acquire real property or interests therein
in the name of and on behalf of the state for the purposes of
protecting the natural environment, providing public access or public
recreational facilities, preserving wildlife habitat areas, or
providing access to or management of acquired lands.
   Existing law provides that an acquisition of real property or an
interest in real property by the conservancy is subject to the
Property Acquisition Law when the value of the property is in excess
of $250,000 per lot or parcel.
   This bill would increase that amount to $550,000 per lot or
parcel.
   Existing law authorizes the conservancy to initiate, negotiate,
and participate in agreements for the management of land under its
ownership or control with specified agencies and entities or
individuals, and to enter any other agreement authorized by state or
federal law.
   This bill would require the conservancy to take whatever actions
are reasonably necessary and incidental to the management of lands
and facilities under its ownership or control and authorize the
conservancy to adopt and enforce regulations governing the use of
those lands and facilities.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 66907.4 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   66907.4.  (a) Acquisition of real property or interests therein

thousand dollars ($550,000) per lot or parcel, is subject to the

Division 3 of Title 2).
   (b) Except as set forth in subdivision (a), acquisition of real
property or interests under this title is not subject to the Property
Acquisition Law. However, the conservancy may request the State
Public Works Board to review and approve specific acquisitions.
  SEC. 2.  Section 66907.9 of the Government Code is amended to read:

   66907.9.  The conservancy shall take whatever actions are

   (a) Adopt and enforce regulations governing the use of those lands
and facilities.
   (b) Initiate, negotiate, and participate in agreements for the
management of those lands and facilities with a public agency, a
