Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, among other things, establishes the Office of Emergency Services for the purpose of mitigating the effects of natural, man-made, or war-caused emergencies and makes findings and declarations relating to ensuring that preparation within the state will be adequate to deal with those emergencies.
Existing law, the State Assistance for Fire Equipment Act, authorizes the Office of Emergency Services to acquire new or used firefighting apparatus and equipment and to resell it to local agencies. Existing law requires the office to give priority for the sale of firefighting apparatus or equipment to local agencies, as specified. Existing law authorizes the office to sell any remaining firefighting apparatus and equipment to public agencies outside of California, the federal government, and Indian tribes after making reasonable efforts to sell it to any local agency and after no less than 90 days have passed since it provided notice to the local agencies.
This bill instead would require that no fewer than 100 days pass after providing notice to the local agencies before the office may sell to public agencies outside of California, the federal government, and Indian tribes.
