	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 803, Karnette.  Highways:  relinquishment:  Routes 19 and 160.

   Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to
relinquish to any city or county any portion of any state highway
within the city or county that has been deleted from the state
highway system by legislative enactment.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City
of Downey the portion of State Highway Route 19 located between
Gardendale Street and Telegraph Boulevard within the city, upon terms
and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of
the state.  The relinquishment would become effective immediately
following the commission's approval of the terms and conditions of
the relinquishment.  The portion of State Highway Route 19
relinquished as specified would cease to be a state highway on the
effective date of the relinquishment.
   The bill also would authorize the commission, upon its
determination that it is in the best interest of the state and upon
terms and conditions approved by the commission, to relinquish any
portion of State Highway Route 160 in Sacramento County from mile
post 35.0 to mile post 47.0 to a city in which that segment is
located, if the city has agreed to accept the relinquishment.  The
relinquishment would be effective on the day immediately following
the date of the commission's approval of the terms and conditions of
the relinquishment.
