	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2136, as introduced, Jones. Conservation land: acquisition
agencies.
    Existing law authorizes various agencies to acquire land for
purposes related to conservation. Existing law requires an
acquisition agency, as defined, prior to approving the acquisition of
conservation land, as defined, if an agency proposes to spend more
than $25,000,000 of state funds, to contract for at least one
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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
