LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2442, Williams. State property: California Hope Public Trust.
Existing law requires each state agency to report annually to the
Department of General Services any proprietary state lands under the
jurisdiction of that agency that are in excess of the foreseeable
needs of that agency. Existing law provides certain exceptions from
this requirement, including, among others, lands under the
jurisdiction of specified state entities. Existing law authorizes the
Director of General Services to require a state agency to transfer
to the department jurisdiction over any land declared excess by a
state agency. Existing law authorizes the department to take
specified actions with respect to that property, including, among
others, asking permission from the Legislature to sell or dispose of
the property. Existing law authorizes the department to give priority
to any property that involves the exchange of surplus lands listed
in specified reports. Existing law requires the department to
maintain a complete and accurate statewide inventory of all real
property held by the state.
This bill would exempt additional agencies from the requirement to
report annually to the Department of General Services any property
held by that agency that is in excess of its needs. The bill would
authorize the department to give priority to proposals to further the
purposes of the provisions governing the California Hope Public
Trust.
The bill would establish the California Hope Public Trust in state
government, to be governed and administered by the Department of
General Services with input from a 9-member advisory board of the
trust, as specified. The bill would require the Department of General
Services by March 31, 2013, and annually thereafter, to submit to
the trust a complete and thorough inventory of all state-owned real
estate and property that is not exempt from transfer to the trust, as
specified, and all lease agreements between any state agency and
private or nonpublic management groups, as specified. The bill would
require the trust by January 1, 2015, and at least biennially
thereafter, to review that inventory of state-owned property, in
consultation with the board, and to determine which properties shall
be controlled by the trust. The bill would require the trust, in
consultation with the board, by January 1, 2015, and as appropriate
thereafter, to request that the Legislature enact legislation that
would authorize the trust to control any of those properties. The
bill would authorize the trust to hire staff for these purposes. The
bill would require the Department of General Services to provide the
board with suitable office accommodations.
The bill would require the trust to accomplish various objectives,
including, among others, to generate a return on real estate
holdings in the possession of the trust, and to use private sector
management and accounting methods to provide for the efficient and
effective utilization of state assets. The bill would authorize the
trust to carry out various powers, including, among others, to
acquire or dispose of any property, to construct and maintain any
building, and to lease property to public or private entities. The
bill would prohibit the trust from selling or disposing of any land
reported as excess or any surplus state real property under certain
statutes. The bill would prohibit the trust from taking
responsibility of certain lands under the responsibility of the
Judicial Council and other specified types of land and property.
Notwithstanding the above, the bill would provide that these
provisions shall become operative only to the extent legislation is
enacted to authorize the trust to control those properties, as
specified. The bill would require the budget of the trust to be
subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act.
The bill would require all net proceeds received or generated as a
result of activities of the trust to be paid to the California Hope
Public Trust Fund, which would be created by this bill, and require
the trust to use the money in that fund, upon appropriation by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act in accordance with a specified
schedule, to support the California State University, California
Community Colleges, and University of California systems.
Commencing on or before July 1, 2016, and each year thereafter,
the bill would require the trust to report to the Legislature on the
activities undertaken by the trust and to include a financial
statement showing the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenditures
of the trust, and a summary of net proceeds.
The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2019, unless
legislation is enacted that becomes effective before that date, that
transfers management and control over property to the trust.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) Historically, California's institutions of higher education
have prepared significant numbers of educated, responsible people who
contribute to California's schools, economy, culture, and future.
These institutions of education are often conduits for innovation in
the fields of technology, science, engineering, and the arts.
(b) The prosperity of California's future economy and the
well-being of its families depend not just on our natural resources
and the quality of our environment, but on the skills and knowledge
of California's people. Economists widely agree that the 21st
century, even more than the 20th century, will be the "human capital"
century, and that expanding the number of Californians with higher
education degrees is critical to continued economic growth and
expanded opportunity.
(c) The future of California depends on an educated populace to
form a solid and dependable economy. It is projected that 41 percent
of California's jobs will require a bachelor's degree in 2025 and
only 35 percent of working-age adults are projected to have a
bachelor's degree at that time.
(d) Unemployment rates are lower for college graduates as compared
to working-age adults with less education. College graduates also
earn higher wages than workers with only a high school diploma. This
is confirmed by United States Census Bureau data that shows that the
wages of college graduates are about 90 percent higher than the wages
of workers with only a high school diploma.
(e) To respond to the challenges of protecting California's
investment in our young people, this act will establish the
California Hope Public Trust. The California Hope Public Trust will
be funded by a transfer of state-owned property, including offices,
industrial property, warehouses, and nonenvironmentally sensitive
urban land clearly suitable for development.
(f) The California Hope Public Trust shall manage properties
transferred to it with the goal of increasing the value of its
holdings and earning revenue for the California State University,
California Community Colleges, and University of California systems
in ways consistent with its duty to provide cost-effective real
estate services and to develop high-quality, environmentally
responsible projects.
(g) The purpose of the California Hope Public Trust is to increase
revenue for higher education by developing state properties that are
currently underutilized. The California Hope Public Trust is not
intended to compete with state agencies for property management
services.
SEC. 2. Section 11011 of the Government Code is amended to read:
11011. (a) On or before December 31 of each year, each state
agency shall make a review of all proprietary state lands, other than
tax-deeded land, land held for highway purposes, lands under the
jurisdiction of the State Lands Commission, the State Coastal
Conservancy, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department
of Fish and Game, the Wildlife Conservation Board, and other state
conservancies, and land that has escheated to the state or that has
been distributed to the state by court decree in estates of deceased
persons, over which it has jurisdiction to determine what, if any,
land is in excess of its foreseeable needs and report thereon in
writing to the Department of General Services. These lands shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) Land not currently being utilized, or currently being
underutilized, by the state agency for any existing or ongoing state
program.
(2) Land for which the state agency has not identified any
specific utilization relative to future programmatic needs.
(3) Land not identified by the state agency within its master
plans for facility development.
(b) Jurisdiction of all land reported as excess shall be
transferred to the Department of General Services, when requested by
the Director of General Services, for sale or disposition under this
section or as may be otherwise authorized by law.
(c) The Department of General Services shall report to the
Legislature annually, the land declared excess and request
authorization to dispose of the land by sale or otherwise.
(d) The Department of General Services shall review and consider
reports submitted to the Director of General Services pursuant to
Sections 15878 and 66907.12 of this code and Section 31104.3 of the
Public Resources Code prior to recommending or taking any action on
surplus land, and shall also circulate the reports to all agencies
that are required to report excess land pursuant to this section. In
recommending or determining the disposition of surplus lands, the
Director of General Services may give priority to proposals by the
state that further the purposes of the California Hope Public Trust
(Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 15870)) or that involve the
exchange of surplus lands for lands listed in those reports.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by any other law, whenever any
land is reported as excess pursuant to this section, the Department
of General Services shall determine whether or not the use of the
land is needed by any other state agency. If the Department of
General Services determines that any land is needed by any other
state agency it may transfer the jurisdiction of this land to the
other state agency upon the terms and conditions as it may deem to be
for the best interests of the state.
(f) When authority is granted for the sale or other disposition of
lands declared excess, and the Department of General Services has
determined that the use of the land is not needed by any other state
agency, the Department of General Services shall sell the land or
otherwise dispose of the same pursuant to the authorization, upon any
terms and conditions and subject to any reservations and exceptions
as the Department of General Services may deem to be for the best
interests of the state. The Department of General Services shall
report to the Legislature annually, with respect to each parcel of
land authorized to be sold under this section, giving the following
information:
(1) A description or other identification of the property.
(2) The date of authorization.
(3) With regard to each parcel sold after the next preceding
report, the date of sale and price received, or the value of the land
received in exchange.
(4) The present status of the property, if not sold or otherwise
disposed of at the time of the report.
(g) Except as otherwise specified by law, the net proceeds
received from any real property disposition, including the sale,
lease, exchange, or other means, that is received pursuant to this
section shall be paid into the Deficit Recovery Bond Retirement
Sinking Fund Subaccount, established pursuant to subdivision (f) of
Section 20 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, until the
time that the bonds issued pursuant to the Economic Recovery Bond Act
(Title 18 (commencing with Section 99050)), approved by the voters
at the March 2, 2004, statewide primary election, are retired.
Thereafter, the net proceeds received pursuant to this section shall
be deposited in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties.
For purposes of this section, net proceeds shall be defined as
proceeds less any outstanding loans from the General Fund, or
outstanding reimbursements due to the Property Acquisition Law Money
Account for costs incurred prior to June 30, 2005, related to the
management of the state's real property assets, including, but not
limited to, surplus property identification, legal research,
feasibility statistics, activities associated with land use, and due
diligence.
(h) The Director of Finance may approve loans from the General
Fund to the Property Acquisition Law Money Account, which is hereby
created in the State Treasury, for the purposes of supporting the
management of the state's real property assets.
(i) Any rentals or other revenues received by the department from
real properties, the jurisdiction of which has been transferred to
the Department of General Services under this section, shall be
deposited in the Property Acquisition Law Money Account and shall be
available for expenditure by the Department of General Services upon
appropriation by the Legislature.
(j) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to
prohibit the sale, letting, or other disposition of any state lands
pursuant to any law now or hereafter enacted authorizing the sale,
letting, or disposition.
(k) (1) The disposition of a parcel of surplus state real
property, pursuant to Section 11011.1, made on an "as is" basis shall
be exempt from Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 21100) to Chapter
6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of Division 13 of the
Public Resources Code. Upon title to the parcel vesting in the
purchaser or transferee of the property, the purchaser or transferee
shall be subject to any local governmental land use entitlement
approval requirements and to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of
Division 13 of the Public Resources Code.
(2) If the disposition of a parcel of surplus state real property,
pursuant to Section 11011.1, is not made on an "as is" basis and
close of escrow is contingent on the satisfaction of a local
governmental land use entitlement approval requirement or compliance
by the local government with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165), inclusive, of
Division 13 of the Public Resources Code, the execution of the
purchase and sale agreement or of the exchange agreement by all
parties to the agreement shall be exempt from Chapter 3 (commencing
with Section 21100) to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 21165),
inclusive, of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code.
(3) For the purposes of this subdivision, "disposition" means the
sale, exchange, sale combined with an exchange, or transfer of a
parcel of surplus state property.
