<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law requires land to be declared either surplus land or exempt surplus land, as supported by written findings, before a local agency may take any action to dispose of it consistent with an agency’s policies or procedures. Existing law establishes procedures for the disposal of surplus land, as provided. These procedures do not apply to the disposal of exempt surplus land. Existing law establishes various categories of exempt surplus land, as provided.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require, if an exemption is granted to the City of Anaheim for the disposition of surplus land involving the sale or lease of Angel Stadium to the Los Angeles Angels, that any
materials refer to that team as the Anaheim Angels. The bill would express the intent of the Legislature not to apply this requirement if the City of Anaheim is able to come to an agreement with the Major League Baseball team known as the Los Angeles Angels about their affiliation.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Anaheim.</html:p>

<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the corruption scandal related to the almost sale of Angel Stadium in 2020, and the current lease agreement with the City of Anaheim.</html:p>
