           SUMMARY  :  Changes the way the state holds, leases, sells and  
          reports on real property. 

           The Senate amendments  delete the Assembly version of this bill,  
          and instead: 

          1)Authorize the California Department of General Services (DGS)  
            to lease property under control of a state agency, department  
            or district agricultural association if the Director of DGS  
            determines that the property is of no immediate need to the  
            state and exempts from these provisions lands under control of  
            the State Lands Commission; the State Coastal Conservancy or  
            any other state conservancy; the Department of Transportation;  
            Department of Fish and Game; Department of Parks and  
            Recreation; California State University System; or, Regents of  
            the University of California.  

          2)Authorize DGS to sell all or any portion of the Orange County  
            Fairgrounds pursuant to a public bidding process that is  
            designed to obtain the highest and most certain return for the  
            state, as specified. 

          3)Require the state annually report on its inventory of surplus  
            property to include additional information relative to the  
            programmatic uses of the property, to what extent the property  
            is utilized, leasing information, if applicable, and increases  
            reporting requirements on the projected uses from over the  
            next three years to over the next five years, as specified.

                                                                  Page  2

          4)Authorize DGS to enter into a sale or long-term lease of 17  
            specified state office buildings or properties and to  
            determine the terms and conditions for each sale and lease,  
            and requires that each property sold pursuant to this  
            authorization be for no less than fair market value.  Exempts  
            these leases from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)  
            when lease is made on an "as is" basis or is otherwise subject  
            to CEQA through local government land use restrictions.

          5)Authorize the Director of Finance to loan $10 million from the  
            GF to DGS to carry out these provisions.

          6)Urgency Clause:  Declares this bill take effect immediately as  
            an urgency statute.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this was a vehicle for the budget  
          trailer bill.
