                        JANUARY 26, 2015

   An act to amend Section 23 of the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation,
and Conservation District Act (Chapter 1283 of the Statutes of
1970), relating to tide and submerged lands.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 141, as introduced, McGuire. Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation,
and Conservation District Act: land use.
   Existing law, the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation, and
Conservation District Act regulates the use of specified tide and
submerged lands within Humboldt Bay and provides for the fill,
improvement, and reclamation of those tidelands, as prescribed. The
act further requires that all grants, franchises, leases, permits,
rights or privileges be made in accordance with those rules and
regulations as the board of commissioners of the district prescribes
by resolution, and prohibits irrevocable grants of fee title from
being granted or issued.
   This bill would eliminate that provision prohibiting irrevocable
grants of fee title, thereby authorizing these grants subject to the
other provisions of the act.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

Conservation District Act (Chapter 1040 of the Statutes of 1976), is

 or privileges shall be made in accordance with  such
  those  rules and regulations as the board shall
