Shall the sale proceeds of most surplus state property pay off specified bonds?

Summary Prepared by Attorney General:
Dedicates proceeds from sale of surplus state property purchased with General Fund monies to payment of principal, interest on Economic Recovery Bonds approved in March 2004. When those bonds are repaid, surplus property sales proceeds directed to Special Fund For Economic Uncertainties.

Fiscal Impact from the Legislative Analyst:
Net savings over the longer term--potentially low tens of millions of dollars--from accelerated repayment of existing bonds.

Meaning of Voting Yes/No
A YES vote of this measure means:
The state would be required to use any revenues from the sale of surplus property to accelerate the repayment of some existing bonds.

A NO vote of this measure means:
The state would not be required to use revenues from the sale of surplus property accelerate the repayment some existing bonds.
