State parks system: unit modification, adjustment, or removal.
Summary
Existing law requires that all units of the state park system be classified by the State Park and Recreation Commission into one of several categories. This bill would prohibit, with exceptions, a modification or adjustment of boundaries or uses of state park units, that lie within a unit of the state park system, that is incompatible with state park purposes and that would significantly reduce public use or the material, cultural, or historic significance of the unit, as determined by the Director of Parks and Recreation, or the removal of state park units from within the state park system, without the commission making that recommendation to the Legislature, as prescribed, and the Legislature enacting legislation or adopting a resolution approving the recommendation.
