	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 3075, Committee on Governmental Organization. Office of
Emergency Services: firefighting apparatus and equipment.
   Existing law authorizes the Office of Emergency Services to
contract with a local agency that serves a rural area for the resale
of new or used firefighting apparatus and equipment, and specifies
certain contract terms.
   This bill would require the office to give first priority for the
sale of new or used firefighting apparatus and equipment to a local
agency that serves a rural area, and to give 2nd priority for the
sale of new or used firefighting apparatus and equipment to any local
agency. The bill also would allow the office to sell the apparatus
and equipment to public agencies outside California, the federal
government, and Indian tribes, under certain circumstances. The bill
would also make various technical, nonsubstantive changes.



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

  SECTION 1.  Section 8589.13 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   8589.13.  (a) The office shall give first priority for the sale of
new or used firefighting apparatus and equipment to a local agency
that serves a rural area, and is authorized to contract with a local
agency that serves a rural area for this purpose. The office shall
give second priority for the sale of new or used firefighting
apparatus and equipment to any local agency. If after reasonable
efforts by the office to sell new or used firefighting apparatus and
equipment to any local agency, and not less than 90 days after
providing notice to these local agencies, the office may sell any
remaining firefighting apparatus and equipment to public agencies
outside of California, the federal government, and Indian tribes,
subject to any applicable federal requirements.
   (b) If a contract for the sale of new or used firefighting
apparatus and equipment under subdivision (a) provides for the local
agency to pay the sale price in more than one installment, the local
agency shall pay interest at a rate specified in the contract, which
shall not exceed 1 percent less than the rate earned by the Pooled
Money Investment Board, and the term of a contract shall not exceed
five years.
   (c) If a contract for the sale of new or used firefighting
apparatus and equipment under subdivision (a) provides for a local
agency to obtain a loan from another source, the office may insure
the other loan.
