Section 17463.7 - Use of proceeds from sale or lease of surplus real property or personal property(a) Notwithstanding any other law, a school district may deposit the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, purchased with nonstate funds, into the general fund of the school district and may use the proceeds for any one-time general fund purpose. If the purchase of the property was made using the proceeds of a local general obligation bond or revenue derived from developer fees, the amount of the proceeds of the transaction that may be deposited into the general fund of the school district may not exceed the percentage computed by the difference between the purchase price of the property and the proceeds from the transaction, divided by the amount of the proceeds of the transaction. For purposes of this section, proceeds of the transaction means either of the following, as appropriate: (1) The amount realized from the sale of property after reasonable expenses related to the sale.(2) For a transaction that does not result in a lump-sum payment of the proceeds of the transaction, the proceeds of the transaction shall be calculated as the net present value of the future cashflow generated by the transaction.(b) The State Allocation Board shall reduce an apportionment of hardship assistance awarded to the particular school district pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 17075.10) of Chapter 12.5 of Part 10, except an apportionment of hardship assistance awarded pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 17075.10, by an amount equal to the amount of the sale of surplus real property used for a one-time expenditure of the school district pursuant to this section.(c) Before a school district exercises the authority granted pursuant to this section, the governing board of the school district shall first submit to the State Allocation Board documents certifying both of the following: (1) The sale of real property pursuant to this section does not violate the provisions of a local bond act.(2) The real property is not suitable to meet projected school construction needs for the next 10 years.(d) Before the school district exercises the authority granted pursuant to this section, the governing board of the school district shall adopt a plan at a public meeting for expending one-time resources pursuant to this section. The plan shall identify the source and the intended use of the surplus property proceeds and describe the reasons why the expenditure will not result in ongoing fiscal obligations for the school district.(e)(1) Except for the sale or lease of surplus real property that has previously operated, or was constructed to be operated, as an early childhood education facility or a school for elementary and secondary instruction, the governing board of a school district shall not be required to appoint a school district advisory committee pursuant to Article 1.5 (commencing with Section 17387).(2) It is the intent of the Legislature to allow a school district to meet the requirements to offer surplus properties set forth in the Education and Government Codes by making an offer simultaneously to all applicable entities.(f) The Office of Public School Construction shall submit an interim and a final report to the State Allocation Board and the budget, education policy, and fiscal committees of the Legislature that identifies the school districts that have exercised the authority granted by this section, the amount of proceeds involved, and the purposes for which those proceeds were used. The interim report shall be submitted by June 1, 2022, and the final report shall be submitted by January 1, 2026.(g) For any transaction for the sale or lease of surplus property a school district initiates pursuant to this section before June 30, 2024, the proceeds from the sale or lease transaction that are received after June 30, 2024, shall be considered proceeds that can be deposited in accordance with this section.(h) Subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, shall become inoperative on July 1, 2024, subdivision (f) shall become inoperative on January 15, 2026, and this section as of January 1, 2027, is repealed.Amended by Stats 2021 ch 124 (AB 938),s 17, eff. 1/1/2022.Amended by Stats 2020 ch 110 (SB 820),s 8, eff. 9/18/2020.Added by Stats 2020 ch 24 (SB 98),s 14, eff. 6/29/2020.
