Gov. Gray Davis' appointment of actor Clint Eastwood to the California Park and Recreation Commission was approved by the Senate Rules Committee.
Approval by the committee on Monday sent the nomination to the full Senate. Davis named Eastwood, a former mayor of Carmel, to the panel last November.
The nine-member commission shapes policies for more than 260 state parks, from Hearst Castle to Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The panel meets about six times a year in different areas of the state.
