Sale of armories.

The California Senate Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs proposes new authorization for the Director of General Services to transfer, exchange, or sell seven specific armory properties across the state, building upon existing provisions that govern armory management and disposition.

The measure identifies armory properties in Atascadero, Eureka, Gilroy, Lodi, Montebello, Porterville, and San Bruno for potential transactions, ranging from approximately one to 4.7 acres each. These properties include existing improvements and structures at their respective locations. Under current law, proceeds from any armory transactions must be deposited into the Armory Fund for legislative appropriation toward armory-related purposes.

The authorization process requires approval from both the Director of General Services and the Adjutant General, maintaining existing oversight mechanisms for armory property transactions. While the bill enables these specific property transfers, it preserves all other statutory requirements governing armory sales and management, including legislative approval procedures for final transactions.
