AB 1168

Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways and all property and rights on property acquired for state highway purposes. Various provisions of existing law specifically provide for the acquisition, transfer, and use of property owned by the department. This bill would, with respect to a parcel that the department transferred to the City of Lynwood, require the department to release and remove the deed restriction that it imposed on that parcel that requires a portion of the property to be used exclusively for public purposes for a period of 15 years from the recorded date of the deed. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Lynwood.
