This bill would instead, except as provided, authorize the conservancy to take those actions relating to the lease, sale, exchange, and transfer of any real property or interest therein, or option acquired under those provisions to fulfill the purposes of the conservancy and to promote specified state planning priorities. The bill would require the conservancy to submit, on or before January 1, 2018, a report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature on its progress toward promoting those priorities.
