2005 California Government Code Sections 8878.60-8878.61 Article 3. State Buildings or Facilities

GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 8878.60-8878.61

8878.60.  (a) State building or facility projects eligible for
retrofitting, reconstruction, repair, replacement, relocation, or
other seismic hazard abatement shall be based upon criteria
established by the State Architect.  The criteria shall include the
factor of the population at risk of injury and may include, but are
not limited to, the report by H.J. Degenkolb and Associates to the
Seismic Safety Commission dated April 19, 1981, Seismic Safety
Commission Report Number 604, as revised on December 31, 1987, or any
updates of those reports received and adopted by the Seismic Safety
Commission.
   (b) If the state building or facility is designated as a historic
building as defined in Section 18955 of the Health and Safety Code,
the State Architect shall consult with the Office of Historic
Preservation before proposing to demolish the building or facility.
   (c) The State Architect may determine that because of the age,
material used in construction, potential for ground failure in an
earthquake, or the type of construction or the design of the
structure, it would be more cost-effective to replace or relocate
rather than rehabilitate the state building or facility.  Upon that
determination, the Director of General Services may submit to the
Department of Finance a recommendation that the building be replaced
or relocated.  Upon receipt of the recommendation, the Director of
Finance shall review and consider that recommendation and may
recommend to the Governor inclusion of this project in the annual
Budget Bill or any other legislative bill.
8878.61.  The Director of General Services shall provide to the
Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the fiscal
committees in each house of the Legislature a listing of
expenditures for activities pursuant to this article by January 10
each year.  This information shall be submitted either in the
Governor's Budget documents or a separate report.
