AB 2312

Existing law grants to the City of Martinez all right, title, and interest of the state to 4 specified parcels of land in the County of Contra Costa, to be held in trust to be held by the city, as trustee, for the benefit of all the people of the state for purposes consistent with the public trust doctrine, including the protection of maritime or water-dependent commerce, navigation, and fisheries, and the preservation of the lands in their natural state for scientific study, open space, wildlife habitat, and water-oriented recreation. Existing law requires, before expending trust revenues for any single capital improvement on the trust lands involving an amount in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, the trustee to file with the State Lands Commission a detailed description of the capital improvement not less than 120 days before any disbursement of trust revenues for, or in connection with, that capital improvement. This bill would instead require the above-described filing to be made not less than 180 days before any disbursement of trust revenues for, or in connection with, that capital improvement. Existing law requires the commission, within 120 days after the time of the filing described above, to determine whether the capital improvement is consistent with the trust lands use plan, as provided. This bill would extend the amount of time the commission has to make that determination to 180 days.
