Coastal plan bill advances and rival measure dies in committee

In Sacramento environmental supporters won a first committee vote for a coastal plan bill tied to Prop 20, backed by Sen. Heilenson, while a rival Cullen Ayala measure, backed by Long Beach officials and unions, was defeated 4 to 4. The victorious bill would require coastal jurisdictions to align land use with the plan, bolster public access, protect farmland, and establish a 12 member coastal commission to oversee enforcement. The defeated rival would have shifted coastal control back to local governments, emphasizing industry and development, and now faces further legislative hurdles as it moves toward the Senate Finance Committee.
