BILL NUMBER:S4266 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public lands law, in relation to the inventory of unappropriated state land sales PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to create an auditing system to track the disposition of state-owned and un-appropriated state land. This bill would require the Commissioner of General Services establish and maintain an inventory of all state-owned real property and un-appropriated state land that has been sold, transferred, conveyed or exchanged and contain a reverter clause pursuant to the Public Lands Law or Unconsolidated Law. JUSTIFICATION: The State has a limited supply of state-owned real property and unappropriated state land. Article 2 and 3 of the Public Lands Law provides for a structure in which State real property and un-appropriated State land may be sold, transferred, conveyed and exchanged. In addition, provisions of the Unconsolidated Law permit certain state land to be sold, transferred, conveyed and exchanged. Section 34 of the Public Lands Law and many chapters of the Unconsolidated Laws require conveyed, exchanged, sold or transferred land to be used for a specific public purpose. If the land is not used for the designated purpose, the land title reverts back to the State. There is no mechanism is in place to track if such land is being used for the designated public purpose. This presents an avenue for misuse
