	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 747, 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 PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 431 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended
to read:
   431.  (a) Route 131 is from Route 101 to Tiburon.
   (b) Upon a determination by the commission that it is in the best
interest of the state to do so, the commission may, upon terms and
conditions approved by it, relinquish to the Town of Tiburon, the
portion of Route 131 east of the intersection with Lyford Drive
within the town limits of the Town of Tiburon, if the department and
the town enter into an agreement providing for that relinquishment.
The following conditions shall apply upon relinquishment:
   (1) The 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.
   (2) On and after the effective date of the relinquishment, the
relinquished portion of Route 131 shall cease to be a state highway.
   (3) The portion of Route 131 relinquished under this subdivision
shall be ineligible for future adoption under Section 81.
   (4) The Town of Tiburon shall ensure the continuity of traffic
flow on the relinquished portion of Route 131, including any traffic
signal progression, to the extent applicable.
   (5) For the portion of Route 131 relinquished under this
subdivision, the Town of Tiburon shall install and maintain within
its jurisdiction, signs directing motorists to the continuation of
Route 131 to the extent deemed necessary by the department.
