SB 974 (Evans) Review of Park Closures: Requires the California Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks) to conduct a formal review of the 70 park closures announced in May 2011 and develop and implement a transparent park closure review process using defined criteria that include economic impact on local communities, CEQA analysis, and a study of the costs of closure and deferred maintenance. The bill would require that closures beginning in July 2013 be subject to this process.
