CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 431 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Bigelow |
February 13, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 15301 of the Government Code, relating to temporary shelter.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 431, Bigelow.
Armories: homeless shelter.
Existing law requires the Military Department to make certain state armories available to specified cities and counties for the purpose of providing temporary shelter for homeless persons from October 15 to April 15, inclusive, each year. Existing law authorizes the Adjutant General to use alternate armories as may be necessary to meet the operational needs of the Military Department and authorizes any county or city to use any armory within its jurisdiction subject to the approval of the Adjutant General.
This bill would delete the list of armories to be made available and instead require the Adjutant General, upon request by a county or city, to make state-owned armories available for the purpose of providing
temporary shelter for homeless persons for the above-described time period, unless the requested armory is not available due to operational requirements, in which case the bill would require, if practicable, the Adjutant General to provide an alternative state-owned armory for this use.
