§ 1380.Transaction Exempt From Section 11009, Government Code

California has a general statute governing how state agencies dispose of surplus property, but Section 1380 keeps that separate procedure from applying here. All sales, exchanges, or other transactions the Controller enters into under this chapter are exempt from the provisions of Section 11009 of the Government Code.

That exemption makes sense given how different this chapter's purpose is from ordinary state surplus-property disposal. The Controller isn't clearing out property the state no longer needs; the Controller is managing property that belongs, in the end, to private claimants who may still come forward. This chapter's own detailed rules on notice, public auction, private sale, and the like already supply the procedural structure the transactions need, without layering a second, general-purpose statute on top.
