	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 666, as amended, Jeffries. Public lands: State Public Works
Board.
   Existing law requires that all land and other real property to be
acquired by or for a state agency, other than specifically listed

requires that the jurisdiction over real property acquired by the
board remains in the Department of General Services until the
property is needed for the purpose for which it was acquired.

from the  Riverside Land Conservancy   Jurupa
Area Recreation and Park District  certain land in Riverside
County in the Jurupa Mountains that is adjacent to 2 state-owned
parcels that are part of the Stringfellow Acid Pits Contamination
Site. The bill would require the board to transfer that land to the
Department of Toxic Substances Control.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
