LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 27, NegreteMcLeod. Community colleges: surplus personal property. Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes the establishment of community college districts under the administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Existing law contains provisions generally governing the acquisition and disposition of personal property by community college governing boards, including provisions authorizing the sale of surplus personal property under prescribed conditions. This bill would, notwithstanding these requirements, authorize community college districts to exchange for value, sell for cash, or donate any personal property belonging to the district if the property is determined, as prescribed, to be surplus, and the property is exchanged with, or sold or donated to, school districts or other community college districts, as prescribed.
