Original Committee Reference: A. & A.R.
SUMMARY : Provides for the selection of local real estate
brokers to sell state surplus property and expands the types of
properties in current law that the Director of the Department of
General Services (DGS) may sell, convey, or exchange at fair
market value under specified circumstances to include
landlocked, remainder, and remnant parcels.
The Senate amendments add property that is a remainder or
remnant parcel acquired as part of a capital outlay project, as
specified, to the types of properties that the Director of DGS
may sell, convey, or exchange at fair market value under
specified circumstances.
EXISTING LAW authorizes the Director of DGS to sell, convey, or
exchange properties that are not needed by any state agency at
fair market value following 30-day notice to the Joint
Legislative Budget Committee and the applicable members of the
Senate and Assembly who represent the district in which the
properties are located. This applies under any of the following
circumstances:
1)Property of no more than five acres to a local governmental
agency for the purpose of local public works projects;
2)Property received by the state as the result of a foreclosure,
seizure, or court action;
3)Property that is being encroached on by an adjacent landowner,
and the Attorney General, state agency, and adjacent landowner
agree that the best way to resolve the matter is through a
sale of the property or an exchange of property of equal
value; and,

4)Property with a fair market value of less than $25,000.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill was substantially similar
to the version approved by the Senate.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.
COMMENTS : DGS is sponsoring this bill to streamline current
real property management practices and provide savings to the
state. According to DGS, this bill maximizes the opportunity
for the sale of hard-to-sell, remote, or unusual surplus
properties and will ensure that certain parcels of state land,
including land acquired as part of a capital outlay project, are
properly disposed of and help generate additional revenue for
the state.
