. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that the land and
improvements comprising the Camarillo State Hospital be transferred
to the trustees to be developed and improved as a campus of the
California State University in order to make public postsecondary
education more available to qualified persons in the Ventura County
area as well as throughout the state.
(b) Upon approval by the trustees, the Department of General
Services shall transfer the land and improvements comprising the
Camarillo State Hospital to the trustees. The Department of General
Services shall be reimbursed for its administrative costs incurred in
connection with the transfer, and an amount not to exceed five
thousand dollars ($5,000) is hereby appropriated from the General
Fund to the department for that purpose.
(c) In order to raise revenues to assist in building a campus of
the California State University and to provide a source of funding
for the program thereof, the trustees may sell and lease interests in
real property included within the land comprising Camarillo State
Hospital that are not needed for campus purposes. The proceeds from
any sale or lease pursuant to this section shall be deposited in
local trust accounts and are available for expenditure for the
improvement of real property of the campus and funding the programs
of the campus. Funds so deposited and maintained may be invested in
accordance with state law and are continuously appropriated without
regard to fiscal year for the purpose of building, maintaining, and
funding a campus of the California State University in Ventura County
at the site of the Camarillo State Hospital.
(d) This section shall be liberally construed to accomplish the
intent of the Legislature.
(e) This section does not apply to the approximately 57-acre
noncontiguous parcel of the Camarillo State Hospital property located
on Lewis Road in Ventura County.
