AB 304 – Stewardship signage and public information

This bill requires DNR to create and make available, for a fee, a directory of all land acquired under the stewardship programs that is open to the public. The bill requires DNR to provide an interactive mapping tool at its Web site that identifies these lands. The owner of land acquired under the stewardship programs, or DNR, if the property is surrounded by DNR land, is required to provide notice of public
access with specific signs along the access roads and property lines. If some activities are prohibited or restricted on the land, the signs required by the bill must include that information. If an owner of land acquired under the stewardship programs fails to comply with the requirements under the bill, or fails to replace any sign after being notified of the need to replace the sign, the owner is not eligible for any grants or subprogram under the stewardship programs until the owner complies with the requirements or replaces the sign.

In 2005/06, this bill was introduced as AB 187.
