Overview
This bill requires state agencies to regularly review their surplus land holdings and report them to the Department of General Services. The Department of General Services will then compile this information and submit a report to the Legislature, outlining the land identified as excess. The goal is to identify and potentially dispose of underutilized state-owned land to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Key provisions
- State agencies must annually review their proprietary state lands for excess property.
- The report to the Department of General Services must include land not currently utilized or underutilized, regardless of disposal plans.
- The Department of General Services must report findings to the Legislature by January 1, 2030.
- Jurisdiction of excess land will be transferred to the Department of General Services for sale or disposition.
- The Department of General Services will prioritize land exchange proposals involving other state agencies.
- Net proceeds from land sales will be deposited in specific funds, initially for bond retirement and then for affordable housing.
- The bill includes provisions for exempting ‘as is’ sales from certain environmental regulations.
- A report to the legislature is required, but will be inoperative on January 1, 2034.
