Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
No lease or modification thereof or amendment thereto for the production, extraction, or removal of minerals, oil, gas, or other hydrocarbons from tide or submerged lands which have been granted by the State to a public agency in trust wherein the State has not reserved the minerals, shall be effective or shall be delivered to the lessee unless and until it has been approved by the State Lands Commission.
Prior to adopting the resolution provided for by Section 7052, the governing body may petition the State Lands Commission for approval of the form of the resolution.
When any public agency mentioned in Section 7056 has the right to designate drill sites or areas for the production of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons from tide or submerged lands pursuant to leases, operating agreements, other agreements, or modifications or amendments thereof, which are otherwise authorized by law, then such public agencies must first obtain the approval of the State Lands Commission before designating such drill sites or areas. Such designation and approval shall, as far as possible, conform to the legal requirements, policies and regulations applicable to the development of state-owned or controlled tide or submerged lands for the production of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons.
