Stronger state control of park land buys

Until January 1, 2033, the State Public Works Board handles most state park land purchases. Parks must get Finance consent, request funds in the Governor’s Budget, and use appraisals reviewed by General Services unless waived. The department cannot sign a purchase over $500,000 unless it follows the Section 5006.1 public‑notice steps. Deals of $750,000 or less can be exempted from approval if the Director gives written notice to the Controller. Talks must start within 6 or 12 months, and title must transfer within the allowed time or lawmakers must be told; the Board may use condemnation. No more than $10,000 may be spent on any single purchase option, the Board may hold special meetings, and it may buy furnishings inside acquired buildings.

More public notice for big park deals

For park purchases over $5 million, the department holds a public meeting in the county. It publishes the notice at least twice and gives 90 days’ written notice to local officials and certain legislative leaders. For $500,000 to $5 million, local officials may request a meeting within 30 days of notice. The department reports to the Legislature by January 1, 2028 and every even‑numbered year through January 1, 2033. Starting January 1, 2033, the meeting and 90‑day notice rule continues for buys over $5 million. If this law and AB 679 are both in effect by January 1, 2026 and this law was enacted after AB 679, the department must try to contact neighbors displaced by the 2020 CZU Fire and report every two years on acquisitions without Public Works Board or General Services approval.

Stricter rules for leasing park land

The department leases park land only at fair market rent set by appraisal. Before any lease, it appraises the land; total rent over the term cannot exceed fair market value. Most leases need General Services consent unless review is waived, and the county planning commission is consulted. Lease terms generally cap at 10 years; longer terms need 30 days’ notice to the legislative budget committee. If the state pays over $1,000 per year under a lease, others must fund at least half of the amount over $1,000. Farm leases use farm fair market rent, last up to 10 years with renewals, and lessees must pay taxes on their leasehold.

New state property approval rules in 2033

On January 1, 2033, the old approval rule for state gifts and property contracts ends. A new rule starts: the Director of Finance must approve gifts of personal property to the state. The Department of General Services must approve most real estate contracts unless an exemption or waiver applies. Contracts made without required approvals are void.
