Bill overview
This bill modifies how the California Department of Parks and Recreation can acquire land for Big Basin Redwoods, Año Nuevo, and Butano State Parks. Specifically, it temporarily exempts the department from needing to go through the State Public Works Board for these acquisitions until January 1, 2033. The bill also requires the department to report on its land acquisition activities and makes changes to procedures for public notification and comment during these acquisitions, aiming to expedite the rebuilding of Big Basin Redwoods after the 2020 wildfire.
