State Legislation SB 679

State parks: acquired land: limits on disposition or use.

Final Status: 10/11/09 Vetoed by Governor

� This bill would have protected California’s state park system against development proposals that are inconsistent with state parks, and ensured that efforts to use state parks for non-park purposes result in no net loss of park lands for Californians

� This bill would have required that state park lands cannot be used for non-park purposes unless there is no practical alternative to using those lands and either:

(1) replacement lands are provided that are

a. of equivalent environmental & fair market value, and
b. in the area where those impacted from the loss of park lands will benefit from the new lands, or

(2) if there is no way to replace all of the park lands being used for non-park purposes, a combination of replacement lands and monetary compensation is provided to make the investment in state parks whole.
