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


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 415, 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 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, 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.


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.
