SB 1199, as introduced, Hancock. Parks: regional park, park and open-space, and open-space districts: notice of hearing.
Existing law authorizes a procedure for the creation of a regional park district, regional park and open-space district, and regional open-space district where certain requirements, including, but not limited to, the holding of an election, must be met. Before an election is held, existing law requires a specified county to hold hearings to determine the boundaries of the proposed district and to publish notice, as specified, of those hearings.
This bill would also require notice of those hearings to be posted online and to be publicly accessible on the county’s Internet Web site, if the county has an Internet Web site, thereby imposing a state mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
