An act to amend Section 65050 of the Government Code, and to

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 774, Cardoza. Redevelopment Castle Air Force Base.
Existing law designates the Castle Joint Powers Authority as the
local base reuse entity for Castle Air Force Base and creates the
Castle Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency for redevelopment of the
Castle Air Force Base project area.
This bill would designate instead the County of Merced as the
local base reuse authority for Castle Air Force Base, and repeal the
provisions of law creating and setting forth the powers of the Castle
Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency as the redevelopment agency for
the Castle Air Force Base project area.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 65050 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
65050. (a) As used in this article, the following phrases have
the following meanings:
(1) "Military base" means a military base that is designated for
closure or downward realignment pursuant to the Defense Authorization
Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act (P.L. 100-526), the
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510), or
any subsequent closure or realignment approved by the President of
the United States without objection by the Congress.
(2) "Effective date of a base closure" means the date a base
closure decision becomes final under the terms specified by federal
law. These decisions become final 45 legislative days after the date
the federal Base Closure Commission submits its recommendations to
the President, he or she approves those recommendations, and the
Congress does not disapprove those recommendations or adjourns.
(b) It is not the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
section to preempt local planning efforts or to supersede any
existing or subsequent authority invested in the Defense Conversion

15346). It is the intent of this article to provide a means of
conflict resolution.
(c) For the purposes of this article, a single local base reuse
entity shall be recognized pursuant to the provisions of this section
for each military base closure in this state.

which agreement is reached among the local jurisdictions with
responsibility for complying with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
65100) and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 65800) on the base, or
recommend legislation or action by the local agency formation
commission if necessary to implement a proposed recognition.

Section 65100) and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 65800).
(i) Any recognition of a single local reuse entity made pursuant
to subdivision (e), (f), or (g) shall be submitted by the Director of
the Office of Planning and Research to the Governor, the
Legislature, and the United States Department of Defense.
