§ 8. Trespasses upon state lands. Where, in the judgment of the
commissioner of general services, sufficient information has been
provided to her or him that a possible trespass upon state-owned lands
has occurred then the commissioner may investigate such allegations of
trespass upon state-owned lands. The commissioner of general services
may report to the attorney general instances of trespass committed upon
Indian lands, or lands and lands underwater belonging to the state, and
under the general care and superintendence of the commissioner. The
attorney general, on receiving such report and whenever directed by the
commissioner, shall commence and prosecute appropriate actions or
proceedings in the name of the people of the state, against the person
or entity committing such trespass.
