Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to execute grants to real property belonging to the state in the name and upon behalf of the state, whenever the sale or exchange of real property is authorized or contemplated by law, if no other state agency is specifically authorized and directed to execute the grants.

This bill would require the director to quitclaim to the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, at no cost to the tribe, and subject to specified conditions, all interests of the state in the land that it owns within the San Pasqual Battlefield State Park, consisting of 3 parcels of land totaling approximately 3.68 acres. The bill would exempt the land from property taxation. By imposing additional duties on locals in the administration of this exemption, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

This bill would encourage the City of San Diego to transfer to the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians all of the city's interests in the land the city owns within the San Pasqual Battlefield State Park, and if the city agrees to the transfer, would require the state, at no cost to the tribe, to relinquish or transfer to the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians all rights and interests that the state has in those lands through lease, permit, or otherwise, and to take any and all other actions necessary to effectuate the city's transfer of the land to the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations related to a gift of public funds.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Existing law requires the state to reimburse local agencies annually for certain property tax revenues lost as a result of any exemption or classification of property for purposes of ad valorem property taxation.

This bill would provide that, notwithstanding those provisions, no appropriation is made and the state shall not reimburse local agencies for property tax revenues lost by them pursuant to the bill.
