			<html:p>Existing law designates all parks, public campgrounds, monument sites, landmark sites, and sites of historical interest established or acquired by the state, or that are under its control, as the state park system, except as specified. Under existing law, the Department of Parks and Recreation controls the state park system, which is made up of units. Existing law authorizes the department to acquire title to or any interest in real property, including personal property incidental to the purchase of real property and options to purchase property, that the department deems necessary or proper for the extension, improvement, or development of the state park system. Existing law requires that all land and other real property to be acquired by or for any state agency be acquired by the State Public Works Board, except as specified.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would
			 additionally exempt from that requirement property acquired by the department for Big Basin Redwoods, Año Nuevo, and Butano State Parks, as specified, until January 1, 2033. The bill would require the Department of Parks and Recreation to submit a report, on or before January 1, 2028, January 1, 2030, and January 1, 2032, to the Legislature with specified content detailing the department’s use of authority granted pursuant to the bill regarding the acquisition of real property interests without the State Public Works Board.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Big Basin Redwoods, Año Nuevo, and Butano State Parks.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 15853 of the Government Code and Section 5006.1 of the
			 Public Resources Code proposed by SB 630 to be operative only if this bill and SB 630 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.</html:p>

		<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
		<ns0:BillSection id="id_9BDEBD60-E9C7-4540-A46E-D3B0DD2392D6">
			<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
			<ns0:Content>
				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(a)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					In 2020, the CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire burned the entirety of Big Basin Redwoods State Park and portions of Butano and Año Nuevo State Parks. In the wake of this catastrophic fire, the Department of Parks and Recreation initiated a planning process to reimagine the future of Big Basin Redwoods State Park.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(b)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The Department of Parks and Recreation’s reimagining effort produced a vision for rebuilding Big Basin Redwoods State Park. This vision describes the need to acquire additional land to support the relocation of
				visitor-serving facilities previously located within some of the most ecologically sensitive areas of the park.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(c)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The Department of Parks and Recreation’s vision also describes the need to strengthen landscape connectivity, improve forest health, and enhance climate resiliency among and within Big Basin Redwoods, Butano, and Año Nuevo State Parks.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(d)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					There is often a need to move quickly to acquire lands deemed essential to a state park. Nongovernmental organizations are necessary partners in acquiring such high-priority lands in a timely manner. Yet, the lengthy process for completing the transfer of those lands to the Department of Parks and Recreation is a barrier to fulfilling the reimagined vision for the parks most impacted by the CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(e)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					It is the public policy of this state that public agencies exist to aid in the conduct of the people’s business and the proceedings of public agencies be conducted openly so that the public may remain informed. The transfer of land from private to public property is a matter of public interest and necessitates public disclosure before the closure of the transfer when appropriate.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(f)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The key objectives of this act are to streamline the process of transferring high-priority lands to the Department of Parks and
				Recreation to fulfill the goals of enhanced visitor services, improved park operations, strengthened habitat connectivity, and enhanced climate resilience among Big Basin Redwoods, Butano, and Año Nuevo State Parks.
