	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1321, as amended, Kehoe.  Agriculture: 22nd District
Agricultural Association: master plan.   State Race
Track Leasing Commission: Director of General Services: powers and
duties. 
   Existing law provides that the State Race Track Leasing Commission
is required to prepare a master plan for the long-range
comprehensive development and improvement of, and construction upon,
the property of the 22nd District Agricultural Association,  and
specifies other powers and duties of the commission regarding the
22nd District Agricultural Association,  as provided. 
   This bill would instead require the commission to prepare each
master plan for the property of the 22nd District Agricultural
Association.  
   Existing law provides that whenever a power is granted to, or a
duty is imposed upon, the Controller, Treasurer, Director of Finance,
or Superintendent of Public Instruction on any state board,
commission, committee, or governing board, the power may be exercised
or the duty may be performed by a deputy designated by the officer
to act in his or her place and stead, unless otherwise expressly
provided.  
   This bill would specifically authorize the Director of General
Services and the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to each designate
a deputy of his or her office to act in his or her place and stead on
the State Race Track Leasing Commission with respect to the exercise
of the statutory powers and duties of the commission. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  yes
  no  . State-mandated local program: no.


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

   SECTION 1.    Section 7.95 is added to the  
Government Code   , to read:  
   7.95.  Notwithstanding any provision of law, the Director of
General Services and the Secretary of Food and Agriculture may each
designate any deputy of his or her office to act in his or her place
and stead on the State Race Track Leasing Commission with respect to
the exercise of statutory powers and duties of the commission. The
deputy, while sitting on the State Race Track Leasing Commission, may
exercise the same powers as the Director of General Services or the
Secretary of Food and Agriculture could exercise as if he or she were
personally present. The Director of General Services or the
Secretary of Food and Agriculture so designating a deputy shall be
responsible for the acts of the deputy acting under the designation
in the same manner and to the same extent that the Director of
General Services or the Secretary of Food and Agriculture is
responsible for the acts of the deputy performing his or her official
duties as deputy to the Director of General Services or the
Secretary of Food and Agriculture.  
  SECTION 1.    Section 4156 of the Food and
Agricultural Code is amended to read:
   4156.  The State Race Track Leasing Commission shall prepare each
master plan for the long-range comprehensive development and
improvement of, and construction upon, the property of the 22nd
District Agricultural Association. Each master plan shall prescribe
the amounts that may be expended for the various features of the
plan, the period authorized for the completion of each feature of the
plan, and the terms of any revenue bond financing undertaken with
respect to the plan. Each master plan is subject to amendment by the
commission.
