State park system: budgeting.

Existing law places responsibility of the state park system, which includes all parks, public camp grounds, monument sites, landmark sites, and sites of historical interest established or acquired by the state, with the Department of Parks and Recreation. Existing law requires the department to gather, digest, and summarize, in its annual reports to the Governor, information concerning the state park system and the relation to the state park system of other available means for conserving, developing, and utilizing the scenic and recreational resources of the state. Existing law requires each state agency to submit to the Department of Finance a complete and detailed annual budget setting forth all expenditures and estimated revenues for the ensuing fiscal year. This bill would require the department, commencing with the 2015–16 budget proposal, to annually develop and publish state operation expenditures for the state park system to assist in the development of the Governor's annual budget proposal. The bill would require the department, in cooperation with the Department of Finance, to provide individual park unit expenditures analyses, as specified. The bill would require the department, by January 1, 2016, to develop and implement a plan to annually track expenditures made at park units and report the park unit expenditures that were made in the prior fiscal year, that were made and anticipated to be made in the current fiscal year, and that are presented in the Governor's current budget proposal for the next fiscal year.
