State property: acquisition: state park system: Department of Parks and Recreation.

Existing law authorizes the State Public Works Board to select and acquire, in the name of and behalf of the state, with the consent of the state agency concerned, real property, as described. Existing law, however, requires the board to acquire, on behalf of and for the Department of Parks and Recreation, any interests in real property, as described, and sets forth procedures for the purchase of real property for the state park system. Existing law also authorizes the department to take certain actions, including appraising and selecting real property for the purpose of acquiring an option to purchase real property for the state park system, for purposes of this requirement. This bill would, for purposes of the state park system, exempt from these provisions transactions that meet specified conditions, including that the Department of Parks and Recreation determined that it will not require additional state resources to manage the land or other real property.
