Establishes the California Hope Public Trust in state government, to be governed and administered by the department of general services with input from a 9-member advisory board of the trust. Requires the department of general services by March 31, 2013, and annually thereafter, to submit to the trust a complete and thorough inventory of all state-owned real estate and property that is not exempt from transfer to the trust and all lease agreements between any state agency and private or nonpublic management groups. Requires the trust by January 1, 2015, and at least biennially thereafter, to review that inventory of state-owned property, in consultation with the board, and determine which properties are to be controlled by the trust. Requires the trust, in consultation with the board, by January 1, 2015, and as appropriate thereafter, to request that the legislature enact legislation to authorize the trust to control any of those properties. Authorizes the trust to hire staff for these purposes. Requires the department of general services to provide the board with suitable office accommodations.

Authorizes the trust to carry out various powers, including, among others, to acquire or dispose of any property, to construct and maintain any building, and to lease property to public or private entities. Prohibits the trust from selling or disposing of any land reported as excess or any surplus state real property under certain statutes. Prohibits the trust from taking responsibility of certain lands under the responsibility of the Judicial Council and other specified types of land and property. Notwithstanding the above, provides that these provisions will become operative only to the extent legislation is enacted to authorize the trust to control those properties. Requires the budget of the trust to be subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act.

Requires all net proceeds received or generated as a result of activities of the trust to be paid to the California Hope Public Trust Fund created by this bill, and requires the trust to use the money in that fund, upon appropriation by the legislature in the annual Budget Act in accordance with a specified schedule, to support the California State University, California Community Colleges, and University of California systems.

Commencing on or before July 1, 2016, and each year thereafter, requires the trust to report to the legislature on the activities undertaken by the trust and include a financial statement showing the trust's assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenditures, and a summary of net proceeds. Repeals these provisions on January 1, 2019, unless legislation is enacted that becomes effective before that date, that transfers management and control over property to the trust.
