California SB427 establishes a Habitat Conservation Fund to support wildlife habitat and open-space projects in specific regions.

California SB427 amends the Fish and Game Code to establish the Habitat Conservation Fund, allocating $30 million annually from the General Fund for wildlife habitat and open-space projects. The fund prioritizes spending in the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, the Rim of the Valley Corridor, and the Santa Clarita Woodlands. At least $10 million must be spent in the Santa Susana Mountains and Simi Hills, and another $10 million in the Santa Clarita Woodlands. The fund supports projects like wildlife corridors, urban trails, and nature interpretation programs.
