What AB 679 does, verified December 13, 2025

This bill amends the government code and public resources code to exempt the state park system from acquiring land through the state public works board for three specific parks until January 1, 2033. The Department of Parks and Recreation will submit reports to the legislature detailing its use of authority to acquire real property interests without the board's involvement. The bill also makes legislative findings and declarations regarding the necessity of a special statute for these parks. Additionally, the bill incorporates changes proposed by another bill to be operative only if both bills are enacted.
