AB 3251: Sale of armories.

Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services, with the approval of the Adjutant General, to lease and sell real property held for armory purposes, on terms and conditions in the best interests of the state and subject to legislative approval. Existing law requires an armory to be offered for sale to any city, county, city and county, and district prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals. Existing law establishes the Armory Fund and requires that all proceeds from the sale or lease of armories be deposited into the fund for use, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for specified purposes related to armories.

This bill would authorize the Director of General Services, with the approval of the Adjutant General, to sell specified armories throughout the state subject to these provisions, including the deposit of the sale proceeds into the Armory Fund. The bill would require the Sylmar Armory to be offered to a specific joint powers authority in the same manner as any city, county, city and county, and district prior to being offered for sale to private entities or individuals.
