This law specifies that the conservancy is responsible only for lands or areas that are given, bought, or managed by it, and these must be located within Baldwin Hills, the southern Ballona Creek Watershed, or the Upper Dominguez Channel area.

This law requires the conservancy to manage the Baldwin Hills, southern Ballona Creek Watershed, and Upper Dominguez Channel area to enhance climate resilience, recreation, and natural resources. They also need to set policies and prioritize projects that improve recreation, aesthetics, and wildlife habitats. Projects and funds should be equitably distributed across regions and goals. Additionally, they must explore environmental and recreational uses in the area, develop a watershed and open-space plan, and report their findings to the Legislature by January 1, 2026. This reporting requirement will expire on January 1, 2030.

This law allows the conservancy to oversee and manage the lands and facilities it acquires, following specific purposes set in another section. It can also create rules for how the public can use these lands and facilities and make sure these rules are followed.

This law section allows the conservancy to prioritize and acquire property in specific areas like Baldwin Hills, Ballona Creek, and Upper Dominguez Channel, but only from willing sellers and at fair market value. It can work alone or with other agencies to buy land, aiming for deals that benefit both the conservancy and landowners. However, the conservancy cannot use eminent domain, which means they can’t force someone to sell their property. They do get the first chance to buy surplus land suitable for parks, and they can accept land donations for recreational trails.

The conservancy is allowed to carry out site improvement projects within the Baldwin Hills, southern Ballona Creek Watershed, and Upper Dominguez Channel area. They can also regulate public access, rehabilitate areas, upgrade facilities, and build new ones for outdoor activities and resource protection. However, these actions must be done in coordination with other relevant public agencies.

Additionally, the conservancy is prohibited from extending Stocker Street to Overland Avenue or any street in Culver City without written approval from the Culver City council.

This law allows the conservancy to give grants to public and nonprofit organizations for acquiring real property. When nonprofits acquire property with grant money, several conditions apply. The property can be bought at fair market value, but when bought from public agencies, the price can be the agency's original cost. The conservancy must approve the terms of land acquisition and any use of the land as debt security. Also, land transfer needs conservancy approval and an agreement to protect its interests. The conservancy maintains a right to enter the property and can terminate the interest if grant conditions are violated. If a nonprofit ends, the land title moves to the conservancy unless transferred with prior approval to another agency.

All property deeds must be recorded showing the conservancy's interest and entry rights.

This law allows the conservancy to manage its land by leasing, renting, selling, or otherwise transferring property to various entities such as government agencies or nonprofit organizations. It can also negotiate and participate in management agreements with these entities to better manage the land it owns or controls.

This law mandates that the conservancy must establish policies for managing specified areas, including Baldwin Hills and surrounding regions, focusing on planning necessary for their development.

This law establishes a program to improve climate change adaptation efforts in the Baldwin Hills, Southern Ballona Creek, and Upper Dominguez Channel areas. The focus is on protecting and restoring these watersheds and the surrounding communities. The conservancy will work with various agencies and groups to implement these improvements.

The program allows for testing new ways to fund and plan these efforts, aiming to expand successful methods across the region. Importantly, this law does not obligate the Legislature to provide additional money for these initiatives.

This section allows the Baldwin Hills and Urban Watersheds Conservancy to charge fees for using its land or services, but these fees can't be more than what's needed to cover maintenance and operation costs. All collected fees and any other revenues go into a specific fund set up in the State Treasury called the Baldwin Hills and Urban Watersheds Conservancy Fund. This money can only be spent by the conservancy if the state Legislature approves it. Also, this law doesn't affect the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area’s eligibility for state park funding.

This section explains that the conservancy is in charge of managing any funds it receives. These funds can come from state appropriations, future bond acts, local initiatives, or other public agency revenues specifically for the Baldwin Hills, southern Ballona Creek Watershed, and Upper Dominguez Channel.

It can also accept money, grants, or services from any public agency, private entity, or person, and use these funds for similar purposes.
