This bill would repeal the provision creating District 32a out of the Orange County Fair property and would repeal the provision authorizing its sale by the department. This bill would also repeal the creation of the District 32a Disposition Fund in the State Treasury.   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
