AB 2455: Wanna buy a park?

The Public Works Board doesn’t profess to know nearly as much as the Department of Parks and Recreation about assessing and buying lands for state parks. Yet the PWB must approve all land purchases by DPR, which severely hamstrings DPR’s ability to act efficiently. AB 2455 (Laird) would have established a new State Parks Preservation Board to review and approve state park land purchases.
