California Legislature—2013–14 Regular Session

Assembly BillNo. 2541


Introduced by Assembly Member Achadjian

February 21, 2014


An act to amend Section 53036 of the Government Code, relating to coastal property.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2541, as introduced, Achadjian. Local agencies: real property transfers.

Existing law prohibits a local agency from selling real property owned by it and lying between the high water line of the Pacific Ocean and a public street or highway without reserving the public’s right of access to the ocean over that property, as specified.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that requirement.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

P1    1
