The three-member State Lands Commission consists of the Lieutenant Governor, the State Controller, and the Governor's Director of Finance. The Commission manages, as a trustee for the people of the state, California's sovereign public trust lands, which the state received upon admission into the Union in 1850. It also manages certain other lands subsequently conveyed to the state by the federal government. The Commission serves the people of California by providing stewardship of the lands, waterways, and resources entrusted to its care through economic development, protection, preservation, and restoration of those lands and resources.
