#ParksForAll! Pass SB 5, California's Parks Bond
Senate Bill 5 would create the first bond measure in state history to focus on social equity, including access to parks for all Californians.
This bill would enact the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access For All Act of 2018, which, if approved by the voters, would authorize the issuance of bonds in an amount of $4,000,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law to finance a drought, water, parks, climate, coastal protection, and outdoor access for all program. The bill, upon voter approval, would reallocate $100,000,000 of the unissued bonds authorized for the purposes of Propositions 1, 40, and 84 to finance the purposes of a drought, water, parks, climate, coastal protection, and outdoor access for all program.
The bill would provide for the submission of these provisions to the voters at the June 5, 2018, statewide primary direct election.
