	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 600, Hall. Surplus state property: Compton Armory.
   Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to
dispose of surplus state property, subject to specified conditions,
including authorization by the Legislature.
   This bill would, until January 1, 2012, authorize the director,
with the approval of the Adjutant General, to complete a lease to the
City of Compton at fair market value, of specified state-owned
property known as the Compton Armory. The bill would specify a 5-year
term for the lease and would authorize renewal of the lease or other
lease agreements of the Compton Armory for a total term not to
exceed 25 additional years. The bill would, notwithstanding the
requirement for payment of lease proceeds into the Deficit Recovery
Bond Retirement Sinking Fund Subaccount, require the proceeds of the
lease to be deposited into the Armory Fund pursuant to a specified
provision of law.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
