State real property: surplus.

(1) Existing law provides that the Director of General Services may acquire and dispose of surplus state real property where that property is not needed by another state agency and the Legislature has authorized disposal of the property. Existing law also specifies the manner in which the department is to dispose of surplus state real property. This bill would authorize the director to dispose of 2 specified parcels of state property pursuant to these provisions. (2) The California Constitution requires that the proceeds from the sale of surplus state property be used to pay the principal and interest on bonds issued pursuant to the Economic Recovery Bond Act until the principal and interest on those bonds are fully paid, after which these proceeds are required to be deposited into the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, a continuously appropriated fund. Existing law similarly requires that the net proceeds received from any real property disposition be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, a continuously appropriated fund previously established by the California Constitution, until the bonds issued pursuant to the act are retired, and afterward be paid into the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties. By increasing the amount transferred into continuously appropriated funds, this bill would make an appropriation. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
