   An act relating to state parks.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1333, as introduced, Achadjian. State parks: local authorities.

   Under existing law, the Department of Parks and Recreation has
control of the state park system. Existing law authorizes the
department to enter into agreements with an agency of the United
States, a city, county, district, or other public agency, for the
care maintenance, administration, and control of state park lands
that are under the jurisdiction of a party to the agreement for
purposes of the state park system.
   This bill would provide that it is the intent of the Legislature
to enact legislation that would require the state to give a right of
first refusal to a local authority with a state park in its
jurisdiction, to purchase the park or enter into an operating
agreement for the operation of the park in the event that the park is
subject to closure pursuant to the annual Budget Act.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
