LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 39, Seastrand. Parks and historical resources.
Under existing law, specified amounts are appropriated for support of the state park system. Under existing law, specified bond acts have been approved by the voters to provide funds for state beach, park, recreational, historical preservation, and related purposes.
This bill would amend and supplement the Budget Act of 1989 to appropriate $1,300,000 from the California Wildlife, Coastal, and Park Land Conservation Fund of 1988 to the Department of Parks and Recreation for emergency earthquake repairs and to appropriate $170,850 from the Parklands Fund of 1984 to the department for local assistance for historical preservation purposes.
The bill would declare legislative intent in this connection and would waive the 30-day waiting period required upon notification pursuant to Section 28.00 of the Budget Act of the availability of federal funds for earthquake relief for historic buildings. The bill would also require the state bond funds from which amounts would be appropriated by the bill to be reimbursed by federal funds, as specified.
The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Appropriation: yes.
