(a) (1) If a department determines that a designated nonprofit organization, in lieu of the department, should accept property that the department applies to acquire pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034, and determines that the acceptance by the designated nonprofit organization would comply with the purpose of the applicable bond provision specified in subdivision (c) of Section 37032, the department may, upon that determination and upon making the determinations and having the belief required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034, apply to acquire the property for that designated nonprofit organization pursuant to this division. The department shall not make that application until the prospective donor agrees to submit an application pursuant to Section 37010 and paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034 and the designated nonprofit organization agrees to accept the property if it is acquired pursuant to this division.
(2) If a local government determines that a designated nonprofit organization, in lieu of the local government, should accept property that the local government applies to acquire pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034, and determines that the acceptance by the designated nonprofit organization would comply with the purpose of the applicable bond provision specified in subdivision (c) of Section 37032, the local government may, upon that determination and making the determinations and having the belief required by paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034, request the department that allocated to it the relevant bond funds to determine whether it agrees with the local government’s determinations made pursuant to this paragraph. If the department agrees with the local government, gives its approval for the designated nonprofit organization’s acceptance of the property, and gives its approval pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 37034, the local government may apply to acquire the property for that designated nonprofit organization pursuant to this division.
