 BILL NUMBER: AB 1169INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Gomez FEBRUARY 27, 2015 An act to amend Section 6359 of the Public Resources Code, relating to submerged lands. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1169, as introduced, Gomez. Submerged lands. Existing law establishes the State Lands Commission in the Natural Resources Agency and prescribes the functions and duties of the commission. If tide or submerged lands are conveyed by a legislative enactment and a prior survey has not been made and the act does not contain a description of those lands by metes and bounds, existing law requires the commission to survey, monument, and record a plat and a metes and bounds description of those lands within 2 years of the effective date of the act in the county recorder's office in the county or counties where those lands are located. Upon recordation, existing law provides that the survey, monuments, plat, and description are binding upon the state, the grantee, and their successors in interest. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
