   An act relating to state property.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2174, as introduced, Committee on Accountability and
Administrative Review. State property: surplus.
   Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to
dispose of state surplus property, subject to specified conditions,
including authorization by the Legislature. The California
Constitution provides that the proceeds from the sale of surplus
state property be used to pay the principal and interest on bonds
issued pursuant to the Economic Recovery Bond Act until the principal
and interest on those bonds are fully paid, after which these
proceeds are required to be deposited into the Special Fund for
Economic Uncertainties. Existing statutory law similarly requires
that the net proceeds received from any real property disposition be
paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund
Subaccount, a continuously appropriated fund, until the bonds issued
pursuant to the act are retired.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to authorize the director to dispose of parcels of
surplus state property.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
