LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 314, as amended, Cannella. State Highway Route 25.
Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law provides for relinquishment by the commission of highways to local agencies upon relocation and under various other circumstances.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the route description of provide for relinquishment by the commission of a portion of State Highway Route 25 in the City of Hollister prior to relocation of that route to a proposed new easterly bypass alignment. The relinquishment would be subject to a determination by the commission that it is in the best interest of the state to do so and terms and conditions approved by the commission. The relinquishment would be subject to an agreement by the city to accept the relinquishment. The bill would thereafter require the commission to adopt the new bypass alignment into the state highway system upon a determination that it is in the best interests of the state to do so.
