	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 62, as introduced, Hueso. State Highway Route 86:
relinquishment.
   Existing law gives the Department of Transportation full
possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes
the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a
process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the
California Transportation Commission. Existing law also authorizes
the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local
agencies.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the
Cities of Brawley, El Centro, and Imperial and the County of Imperial
specified portions of State Highway Route 86 under certain
conditions. This bill would also redesignate a specified portion of
State Highway Route 86 as a part of State Highway Route 78 following
relinquishment. This bill would also state the intent of the
Legislature that State Highway Route 86 should remain as a future
state highway along a new, specified route.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
