Assemblymember James C. Ramos (D-San Bernardino) and San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Dawn Rowe announced today that Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed AB 385, legislation authored by Ramos and sponsored by the County, allowing a land exchange that will expand public access to recreational space near Glen Helen Regional Park.
AB 385 addresses longstanding restrictions on a 4.2-acre portion of Glen Helen Regional Park purchased decades ago with state grant funds. Under current law, the County could not repurpose or exchange the parcels without legislative approval. The new law authorizes the County to dispose of the restricted land, provided it is replaced with new parkland of equal or greater size and recreational value.
