	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2075, as introduced, Atkins. State highways: relinquishment:
Route 75.
   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 authorizes the
commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments
that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative
enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other
cases.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the
Cities of Coronado, Imperial Beach, and San Diego, specified portions
of State Highway Route 75, under certain conditions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
