Introduction
The State Lands Commission (SLC) has jurisdiction over all “sovereign lands,” or lands held in trust by the State of California, including State Reserved Lands and Public School Lands, as well as tidelands, submerged lands three miles off the coast, and water bottoms of various navigable waters and their tributaries.[1] The SLC has jurisdiction to dispose of or lease those lands, but must do so in accordance with California’s Common Law Public Trust Doctrine.[2]
