Lake County News | California - New law allows nonprofits to partner with state to keep parks open

Lake County News | California - New law allows nonprofits to partner with state to keep parks open: LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Thanks to a new law, state parks slated for closure – including Lake County's own Anderson Marsh – could be spared through cooperative agreements with nonprofits.


On Oct. 4, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 42 by Assemblyman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael).


According to a report from Huffman's office, AB 42 authorizes the California Department of Parks and Recreation to enter into operating agreements with qualified nonprofit organizations to operate a state park unit if the agreement will enable the state to keep open a state park that would otherwise be closed.
