LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SCR 48, Leslie. California Public Lands Week.
This measure would declare the week of May 8, 1994, to May 14, 1994, and the 2nd week in May in the 4 subsequent years thereafter, as California Public Lands Week in recognition of the many benefits which California citizens derive from the use and enjoyment of federally owned public lands in the state.
WHEREAS, Federally owned public lands, which compromise more than 60 percent of the state, have made many contributions to the heritage and well-being of the state’s citizens and to the Nation as a whole; and
WHEREAS, The citizens of the state enjoy economic, recreational, and social advantages because of those public lands, and those public lands are of value not only to the state’s rural communities whose livelihood may depend upon the use of the lands, but to all other California citizens as well; and
WHEREAS, Those public lands have made a valuable contribution to the state’s livestock, mining, timber, oil and gas, and recreation industries by creating innumerable jobs; and
WHEREAS, The many activities conducted on those public lands must be sustained, while balancing those activities with the conservation of those lands; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby recognizes the many benefits which the citizens of this state derive from the use and enjoyment of federally owned public lands in California, and hereby declares the week of May 8, 1994, to May 14, 1994, and the second week of May in the four subsequent years thereafter, as California Public Lands Week.
