INTRODUCED BY   Senator Price

                        FEBRUARY 16, 2011

   An act to add Section 73.01 to the Streets and Highways Code,
relating to highways.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 415, as amended, Price. State highways: relinquishment.
   Existing law gives the Department of Transportation full
possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes
the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a
process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the
California Transportation Commission. Existing law also provides for
the relinquishment of state highways or portions of state highways to
any county or city by the commission in accordance with specified
criteria and procedures.
   This bill would, in addition, authorize the commission to
relinquish to a county transportation commission or regional
transportation planning agency a park-and-ride lot associated with a
state highway within their respective jurisdictions, if the
department enters into an agreement with the county transportation
commission or regional transportation planning agency providing for
that relinquishment. The relinquishment would be upon terms and
conditions that the commission finds to be in the best interests of
the state,  and   but the bill would require the
maintenance of a specified number of parking spaces. The
relinquishment  would be effective on the date following the
county recorder's recordation of the relinquishment resolution
containing the commission's approval of terms and conditions of the
relinquishment.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 73.01 is added to the Streets and Highways
Code, to read:
   73.01.  The commission may relinquish to a county transportation
commission created pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section
130000) of Division 12 of the Public Utilities Code, or regional
transportation planning agency, a park-and-ride lot within their
respective jurisdictions, on terms and conditions that the commission
finds to be within the best interests of the state, if the
department enters into an agreement with the county transportation
commission or regional transportation planning agency providing for
that relinquishment.  The county transportation commission or
regional transportation planning agency requesting the relinquishment
shall agree to maintain, at a minimum, the number of  
parking spaces provided by the department in the lot at the time of
relinquishment.  Any such relinquishment shall become effective
on the date following the county recorder's recordation of the
relinquishment resolution containing the commission's approval of the
terms and conditions of the relinquishment.
