An act to add Section 11011.27 to the Government Code, relating to state property.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1755, as amended, Denham.
State property: surplus.
Existing law requires each state agency, on or before December 31 of each year, to make a review of all proprietary state lands, with specified exceptions, over which it has jurisdiction, to determine what, if any, land is in excess of its foreseeable needs, and to report thereon in writing to the Department of General Services. Existing law transfers jurisdiction of all land reported as excess to the department. The department is required to sell the land or otherwise dispose of the property pursuant to statutory authorization, upon any terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exemptions as the department may deem to be in the best interests of the state.
This bill would require the Director of General Services to ensure that state agencies receive up to 15% of the sale of state surplus real property as a one-time expenditure for that agency subject to specified limitations, including approval by the Director of Finance, and would, with certain exceptions, provide a reward of 1/2% of the sales price of the surplus property, not to exceed $5,000, to the agency employee or employees who first disclosed the availability of the property.
