LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2136, as introduced, Jones. Conservation land: acquisition
agencies.
Existing law authorizes various agencies to acquire land for

acquisition agency, as defined, prior to approving the acquisition of
conservation land, as defined, if an agency proposes to spend more

independent appraisal of the fair market value of the land and
requires the independent appraisal to be conducted by a qualified
member of the Appraisal Institute pursuant to the Uniform Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
