   An act to amend Section 25372 of the Government Code, relating to
county property.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1815, Chesbro.  County surplus property.
   Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of a county to
donate or lease any real or personal property that the board declares
to be surplus to a school or community college district, a county
children and families commission, or a nonprofit corporation
organized for the care, teaching, or training of children,
developmentally disabled children, or Native Americans.
   This bill would delete the references to "nonprofit corporation"
and instead substitute an organization exempt from taxation pursuant
to specified provisions of federal law and would add such an
organization, organized for the provision of health and human
services, to those entities to which a county board of supervisors
may donate or leave this property.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 25372 of the Government Code is amended to
read:

lease any real or personal property that the board declares to be

lease any terms and conditions that it determines to be appropriate.
