                <ns0:DigestText>
                        <html:p>Existing law prescribes requirements for the disposal of surplus land by a local agency, including sending a written notice of the availability of the property before disposal of that property or participating in negotiations to dispose of that property with a prospective transferee, as specified. Existing law specifies that certain disposals of land are not subject to these provisions, including, disposal of land by a city with a population exceeding 2,500,000 for certain purposes, as specified. Existing law authorizes a city, county, or city and county, with the approval of its legislative body by resolution after a public hearing, to acquire, sell, or lease property in furtherance of the creation of an economic opportunity, as defined.</html:p>
                        <html:p>This bill would exempt from the requirements for the disposal of surplus property the disposal of real
                property acquired by a local agency on or after, January 1, 2029, for the purpose of creating an economic opportunity, when the local agency adopts a specified resolution that includes plans for anticipated improvement and future use of the property and disposes of the property to a public or private entity consistent with the planned used identified in the resolution.</html:p>
