The McAteer-Petris Act

The McAteer-Petris Act has long served as the key legal provision under California state law to preserve San Francisco Bay from indiscriminate filling.

This law, enacted on September 17, 1965, established the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission as a temporary state agency charged with preparing a plan for the long-term use of the Bay. In August 1969, the McAteer-Petris Act was amended to make BCDC a permanent agency and to incorporate the policies of the Bay Plan into state law.
