*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 1900, an urgency measure, would authorize the
Judicial Council to sell the property known as the San Pedro
courthouse, a surplus court facility, at fair market value and
upon specified terms and conditions. This bill would deposit and
transfer the sale proceeds from the Special Fund for Economic
Uncertainties to the Immediate and Critical Needs Account
(ICNA), and appropriate the funds to the Judicial Council for
the planning, design, construction, rehabilitation, renovation,
replacement, or acquisition of court facilities.

?
Sale proceeds : Redirection of one-time revenue potentially in
excess of several million dollars from the Special Fund for
Economic Uncertainties (SFEU) to the Immediate and Critical
Needs Account (ICNA). Under existing law, the proceeds from
the sale of surplus state property are to be deposited into
the SFEU (now that the principal and interest on the 2004
Economic Recovery Bonds have been fully paid). The 2016 Budget
Act reflects a 2016-17 ending balance of $1.75 billion in the
SFEU. Absent the declaration of the courthouse as "surplus
property," the net proceeds of the sale would potentially be
subject to reversion to the General Fund and the State Court
Facilities Construction Fund pursuant to Government Code §
70391(c)(1).
Appropriation to Judicial Council : One-time appropriation
potentially in excess of several million dollars to the
Judicial Council from the ICNA. Annual revenues to the ICNA
have been declining, and the 2016 Budget Act reflects a
2016-17 ending balance of $87.8 million in the ICNA.
Operations/maintenance : Future cost savings (General Fund*)
to the Judicial Council in avoided maintenance and operations
costs. Despite the closure of the courthouse at the end of
June 2013, the Judicial Council continues to share
responsibility with the county for maintenance and operations
costs pursuant to Government Code § 70343(a)(2).

Committee
Amendments: Codify the provisions of the bill and make
technical changes including adding references to specify the
"net" proceeds of the sale.
