Existing law establishes within the Natural Resources Agency the Department of Parks and Recreation, which is under the control of the Director of Parks and Recreation. Existing law requires the director to cause to be prepared, and continuously maintained, a comprehensive plan for the development and operation of a statewide system of recreation trails, which is known as the California Recreational Trails System Plan. Existing law requires the plan to be continuously reviewed, revised, and updated by the director. Existing law requires the director to submit a report every 2 years to the Legislature describing the progress in carrying out the plan, as provided. This bill would require the plan to include recommended priorities for funding to improve and expand, among other things, nonmotorized natural surface trails, as provided. The bill would require the director, among other things, on or before January 1, 2024, to prepare and provide to the Legislature a full update of the plan. The bill would instead require the director to submit a report every 3 years following an update to the plan to the Legislature describing the progress in carrying out the plan, as provided. The bill would make other changes regarding the plan and the updates to the plan. Existing law requires the director to prepare a list of recommended priority system projects for the state park system. Existing law requires projects recommended for funding during each fiscal year to be submitted to the Governor for consideration for inclusion in the Budget Bill. When acquisition of private lands for state trail purposes is proposed, existing law requires the director to provide information supporting the necessity for that acquisition to the Governor and to any standing committee of the Legislature that requests that information, as provided. This bill would delete these provisions. This bill would also make nonsubstantive changes and delete obsolete provisions.
