          SUMMARY:


          This bill extends the time period the Legislature has to review  
          a proposed state park lease agreement before it can be approved  
          by the State Public Works Board from 20 to 30 days.

                                                                    Page  2






          FISCAL EFFECT:


          No additional state costs.


          COMMENTS:


          Rationale.   Current law requires operating and lease agreements  
          between the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and other  
          public agencies to be approved by the Legislature as part of the  
          annual budget process.  


          The law provides an alternative process for approval by the  
          State Public Works Board, when agreements are proposed after the  
          budget has been enacted if the Board determines it is not in the  
          interest of the public to wait for the agreement to be approved  
          the following year.  In that case, the Board must provide the  
          Legislature with 20 day notice before approving the proposed  
          agreement.


          This bill allows the Legislature more time to review proposals.
