	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 747, as amended, Levine. State Highway Route 131:
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 authorizes
the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local
agencies.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the Town
of Tiburon in Marin County a specified portion of State Highway
Route 131, under certain conditions.  The bill would require
the relinquishment to be done at no cost to the state except upon a
finding of need by the commission. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
