Local government: powers.

Existing law authorizes a board of trustees, city council, or other governing body of a city, defined as a legislative body, to pass ordinances not in conflict with state or federal law and the state or federal constitution. This bill would prohibit a legislative body, as defined, from selling or leasing any building to an entity that is controlled by the legislative body to raise money to fund the general expenses of the jurisdiction of the legislative body. This bill would also declare that this prohibition is a matter of statewide concern, thus making it applicable to charter and general cities.
