Public lands: State Lands Commission: coastal ports: automated technology.

Existing law vests control over specified public lands with the State Lands Commission. The 3 members of the commission are the Lieutenant Governor, the Controller, and the Director of Finance. Existing law specifies that the commission has exclusive jurisdiction over all ungranted tidelands and submerged lands owned by the state, and of the beds of navigable rivers, streams, lakes, bays, estuaries, inlets, and straits, including tidelands and submerged lands or any interest in those lands, as described, which have been or may be acquired by the state by quitclaim, cession, grant, contract, otherwise from the federal government, or by any other means. Existing law also provides specific responsibilities for the commission with respect to the ports of Los Angeles and Oakland. This bill would require the commission, subject to the availability of resources, in collaboration with the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, to hold a series of meetings at or near California ports that operate on granted public trust lands to consider the impacts of automated technology at California's ports, as provided. The bill would require the commission to submit 2 reports to the Legislature, as prescribed, on the commission's activities under these provisions. The bill would repeal these provisions on December 31, 2023.
