Minor absorbable cost to the Military Department.
COMMENTS:
Background/Purpose. The Adjutant General may, in his or her
sole discretion, use alternate armories as may be necessary to
meet the operational needs of the Military Department.
Additionally, any county or city, including those specifically
identified in current law, may use any armory within its
jurisdiction subject to the approval of the Adjutant General.
AB 2254 adds the Atascadero armory and removes the Camp San Luis
Obispo armory, both in San Luis Obispo County to the list of
over 30 armories specifically listed in statute.
Subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act, the Adjutant
General may increase or decrease the number of days of operation
among all of the armories funded in any year to best meet cold
weather demands as they develop. The Adjutant General shall
periodically report to the counties authorized to receive funds
on the ongoing availability of remaining funded shelter days.
