Section 16019 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 1.
16019
. In making applications for, and in expending apportionments
of funds under this chapter, a school district acts as an agent of
the state and all sites purchased and improved, all equipment
purchased, and all buildings constructed, reconstructed, altered, or
added to through the expenditure of funds apportioned under this
chapter, are declared to be, and are, the property of the state.
The Director of General Services shall file with the county
recorder of the county in which any site purchased or improved
through the expenditure of funds apportioned under this chapter is
located a certificate, properly acknowledged, indicating the state's
interest in real property of the district by virtue of this section,
without the necessity of particularizing the real property. The
recorder shall record and index the certificate in the same manner as
abstracts of judgments and the certificate shall constitute
constructive notice of the state's interest in the particular real
property affected. The certificate shall as to any party thereafter
acquiring real property or any interest therein in the county from
the school district have the same force, effect and priority as if it
had been a judgment lien imposed upon real property which was not
exempt from execution. This effect shall commence upon recordation
and continue until the certificate is discharged or released as
provided herein.
Upon request the Director of General Services shall do each of the
following:
(a) Issue a release of the state's interest in any real property
or a portion thereof that the district has been authorized by the
board to dispose of under Section 16105, provided that delivery of
the release may be subject to any conditions that may be prescribed
by the board to protect the state's interest.
(b) Issue a disclaimer of the state's interest in any real
property or a portion thereof of the district, the disposition of
which the board is not required to consent to under the terms of
Section 16105, provided that the delivery of the disclaimer may be
subject to any conditions that the board deems appropriate to protect
the interests of the state, including conditions relating to the
amount of consideration to be received from the disposition where the
board asserts an interest in the proceeds of the disposition under
other provisions of this chapter. The release or disclaimer shall
conclusively protect any third party relying upon the same and shall
be acknowledged to permit recordation by the county recorder.
Upon payment by the district of all amounts required to be paid by
it or on its behalf to the state under this chapter each of the
following shall occur:
(a) The Director of General Services shall file with the recorder
a release of any certificate. The release shall be recorded and
indexed in the same index as the certificate.
(b) The title to personal property purchased by the school
district with funds apportioned under this chapter shall revert to
the school district without further action by the state.
