AB 452: Coastal recreation: designated state surfing reserves.

The bill would establish criteria and an application process for designating areas of the coastline as state surfing reserves. Local governments can apply to the state coastal conservancy to designate an area within their jurisdiction as a state surfing reserve. The conservancy would approve the application if the area meets the established criteria. Once approved, the conservancy would designate the area as a state surfing reserve and publicize it. The conservancy can also revoke the designation if the reserve no longer meets the criteria. The bill also requires the conservancy to partner with local governments to erect signs designating approved surfing reserves and accept donations for this purpose.
