GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 40500-40502

40500. This chapter shall be known as the Municipal Federal Surplus
Property Authority Law.

40501. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State that to
promote the public interest, economy, health, safety, education and
general welfare of the cities, cities and counties, and counties in
the State and of the residents and property owners therein, the
people be empowered to acquire, own, maintain, operate, improve and
dispose of surplus real properties of the United States which are
within or contiguous to said cities, cities and counties, and
counties. Because of the unique problem presented in so doing and of
the facts and circumstances relative thereto, the creation of an
authority within and separate and distinct from said cities, cities
and counties, and counties is necessary.

40502. Such authority, when created, shall constitute a public
corporation.
