Bill > SB1268

This bill establishes the "Outdoors for All" initiative, administered by the Natural Resources Agency, to ensure equitable access to outdoor public recreation spaces for all Californians, particularly those in disadvantaged and low-income communities. The initiative aims to reduce barriers to accessing these spaces, such as cost, transportation, and safety concerns, and to align conservation efforts with the state's outdoor equity goals and the "30x30 goal," which is a commitment to conserve at least 30% of California's lands and coastal waters by 2030. The bill also mandates that the agency report annually to the Legislature on the initiative's progress and requires the agency to update its "Outdoors for All Strategy" every five years, incorporating public input and ensuring that conservation strategies benefit underserved communities.
