4059
. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the
Department of Food and Agriculture shall develop criteria to be used,
subject to the approval of the Department of General Services, for
the disposal of property by a district agricultural association and
the California Exposition and State Fair.
(2) As used in this section, "disposal of property" means the sale

($50,000).
(b) The board of the district agricultural association or

the board of the district agricultural association or California
Exposition and State Fair shall sell the property to the buyer that
submits the highest bid.

the provisions of the State Administrative Manual which may apply to
disposal of property developed by the Department of General Services.
