	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1570, Committee on Business and Professions.  Public agencies.
   (1) Existing law regarding state contracts for the acquisition of
goods authorizes the Director of General Services to make the
services of the department available, as provided, to any
tax-supported public agency in the state for assisting the agency in
the acquisition of television communications equipment.
   This bill would instead authorize the director to make the
services of the department available to any tax-supported public
agency in the state for the acquisition of goods generally.
   (2) Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to
transfer to another state agency surplus state land on terms and
conditions that it may deem to be for the best interests of the
state.
   This bill would require the Director of General Services, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of Veteran Affairs and the Executive
Director of the Capitol Area Development Authority and with the
approval of the State Public Works Board, to sell, lease, or exchange
certain real property on Block 222 in the City of Sacramento to the
Regents of the University of California for constructing academic
housing and necessary facilities, subject to specified conditions.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 10313 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:

this article available, upon those terms and conditions as he or she
may deem satisfactory, to any tax-supported public agency in the

owned by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of
General Services on Block 222 in the City of Sacramento to the
Regents of the University of California for the purpose of
constructing academic housing and necessary facilities to carry out
the mission of the University of California.  Any sale, lease, or
