                        JANUARY 14, 2014

   An act to add Section 32527.5 to the Public Resources Code,
relating to the San Joaquin River Conservancy.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1506, Perea. San Joaquin River Conservancy: adoption of
regulations: violations: penalties.
   (1) Existing law establishes the San Joaquin River Conservancy in
the Natural Resources Agency, and prescribes the membership and
functions and duties of the conservancy. Existing law authorizes the
conservancy to adopt and enforce regulations governing the use of San
Joaquin Parkway lands and activities within the parkway, the
protection and management of native riparian vegetation, wildlife,
and other natural resources on parkway lands, and the protection of
archaeological sites.
   This bill would make a person who violates any of the posted
regulations adopted by the conservancy governing lands owned or
managed by the conservancy guilty of an infraction punishable by a
maximum fine not exceeding $250. By creating a new crime, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 32527.5 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   32527.5.  (a) A person who violates any of the posted regulations
adopted by the conservancy governing lands owned or managed by the
conservancy is guilty of an infraction punishable by a fine not
exceeding two hundred fifty dollars ($250).
   (b) Any regulation adopted by the conservancy governing lands
owned or managed by the conservancy may be enforced by any duly
authorized California peace officer.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
