	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2247, Williams. Armories.
   Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services, with the
approval of the Adjutant General, to lease and sell real property
held for armory purposes, subject to legislative approval. Existing
law establishes the Armory Fund and requires that the net proceeds
from the sale or lease of armories be deposited into the fund, for
use, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for specified purposes
related to armories. Existing law authorizes the sale of specified
armories.
   This bill would require the Director of General Services, with
approval of the Adjutant General, to grant specified cities and
school districts, among others, an option to purchase specified
armories located within their respective jurisdictions. The bill
would additionally require the director, upon expiration of the
options, to offer the armories for sale pursuant to existing law.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the entities being granted the
options.
