Bill > SB855

This bill expands existing legal authority for the Director of General Services, with approval from the Adjutant General (a senior military official responsible for state military affairs), to transfer, exchange, or sell specific armory properties across California. An armory is a building used to store military equipment and sometimes serve as a training facility for military personnel. The bill specifically identifies seven armory properties for potential sale or transfer, located in cities including Atascadero, Eureka, Gilroy, Lodi, Montebello, Porterville, and San Bruno. These properties range in size from approximately one to four-and-a-half acres and include both land and existing improvements. The bill maintains existing requirements that proceeds from such sales be deposited into the Armory Fund, which can be used for armory-related purposes upon legislative appropriation. This legislation appears to provide more flexibility for managing state-owned military properties, potentially allowing for strategic real estate decisions that could benefit the state's military infrastructure or generate revenue.
