This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law requires the State Lands Commission to regulate oil, gas, and mineral leases on public lands. Existing law authorizes a lessee to make and file with the commission a quitclaim or relinquishment of all rights under a lease or a portion of a lease comprising a 10-acre parcel or multiple parcels in a compact form, or of a separate or distinct zone or geological horizon or portion underlying a 10-acre parcel or multiple parcels. The quitclaim or relinquishment is effective as of the date of filing and the fulfilling of certain conditions. This bill would delete provisions referring to zones and geographical horizons of a parcel and would instead refer to land. The bill would make the quitclaim or relinquishment effective upon the completion of any required abandonment of all facilities and any required reclamation of the lease premises as approved by the commission. Commission approval, contingent upon any other agreement between the lessee and the commission, would be required for the lessee to be released from all obligations accruing under the lease with respect to the lands. Existing law prohibits the quitclaim or relinquishment from releasing the lessee or the lessee's surety from liability for the breach of an obligation of the lease with respect to which the lease is in default at the time of the filing of the quitclaim or relinquishment. This bill instead would prohibit the quitclaim or relinquishment from releasing the lessee or the lessee's surety from liability for the breach of an obligation of the lease if the lessee is in default at the time of the approval, rather than the filing, of the quitclaim or relinquishment. This bill would also require a lessee's request for commission approval of a quitclaim or relinquishment of all rights under a lease or portion of a lease of land to be heard at the next regularly scheduled commission meeting for which the request can be properly noticed.
