INTRODUCED BY   Senator Galgiani

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2013

   An act to add Section 14674.5 to the Government Code, relating to
state property.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 449, as introduced, Galgiani. State surplus personal property.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to
perform various functions with respect to state property and,
specifically, authorizes the director of the department, with the
consent of the state agency concerned, to permit the sale or exchange
of any personal property which belongs to the state, if the director
deems it in the best interests of the state.
   This bill would require the department to establish a program to
centralize the sale of state surplus personal property using the best
available technology, including the Internet. The bill would also
require the department to impose an additional charge on each item of
state surplus personal property that is sold to recover the
department's costs in establishing and administrating the program.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 14674.5 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   14674.5.  The Department of General Services shall establish a

using the best available technology, including, but not limited to,
