Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
Existing law requires each state agency, each year, to make a review of all proprietary state lands, except, among other categories of land, land held for highway purposes, over which it has jurisdiction to determine what land is in excess of its foreseeable needs and report thereon to the Department of General Services, including, among other things, land that is not currently being utilized, or is currently being underutilized, by the state agency for any ongoing state program.
This bill would remove the exception for land held for highway purposes and specifically require the Department of Transportation to submit the report described above. The bill would require the report to include the market value of the properties reviewed by the agency. The bill would require the report to include land that is not currently being utilized, is currently being underutilized, or is not being used by a state agency, regardless of whether the agency is currently prepared to dispose of the land by sale or otherwise. The bill would require the department to submit a report to the Legislature containing information regarding the land reported to it by a state agency as described in these provisions, on or before January 1, 2031.
