          SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE: Senate Rule 28.8

           ASSEMBLY FLOOR:  80-0, 5/14/15 - See last page for vote

           SUBJECT:   Parks and monuments: operating leases or agreements


          SOURCE:    Author

          DIGEST:  This bill authorizes the State Public Works Board  
          (Board) to review and approve a proposed lease or agreement, or  
          amendment, no earlier than 30 days after it has provided written  
          notification to the chairpersons of those legislative  
          committees, as provided.

          ANALYSIS:

          Existing Law:  

          1)Authorizes the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to  
            enter into an operating or lease agreement with another public  
            agency for the care, maintenance, administration, and control,  
            of lands for the purpose of the state park system.

          2)Prohibits an operating lease or agreement  between DPR and  
            another public agency from being entered into or amended  








                                                                     AB 232  
                                                                    Page  2



            unless one of the following occurs:

             a)   The Legislature reviews the lease, agreement or  
               amendment as part of the annual budget process, or

             b)   Following enactment of the annual Budget Act, the Board  
               does all of the following:

               i)     Determines that the proposed lease or agreement  
                 could not have been presented to the Legislature for  
                 review during the annual budget process, and it would be  
                 adverse to the public interest to defer the review until  
                 the next budget process;

               ii)    Reviews and approves the lease or agreement not  
                 sooner than 20 days after the board provides written  
                 notification to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative  
                 Budget Committee, the Chairperson of the Assembly Ways  
                 and Means Committee, and the Chairperson of the Senate  
                 Budget and Fiscal Review Committee.

               iii)   Reports the action to the Legislature in the next  
                 Governor's Budget. 

          This bill:

          1)Extends from 20 days to 30 days the time period the  
            Legislature has to review a proposed state park operating  
            lease, agreement or amendment before it can be approved by the  
            Board.

          2)Makes other technical corrections to update this code section.
