SB 1719

Abstract

Amends the State Property Control Act. Modifies the definition of the term "surplus real property". Provides that title to surplus real property may, if approved by the Director of Central Management Services as Administrator, remain with the owning agency throughout the disposition process; however, the Administrator and the Department of Central Management Services have sole responsibility and authority for disposing of the property. Requires the Administrator to obtain 2 (currently, 3) appraisals of surplus real property if the value of the property is determined in the initial survey to be $5,000 or more. Provides that no surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator for less than the fair market value, unless the Administrator makes a written determination that it is in the best interests of the State to establish a different value. Provides further requirements concerning the Administrator's written determination. Provides that prior to offering the surplus real property for sale to the public, the Administrator shall give notice in writing of the surplus real property to each State agency and to the governing bodies of the county and of all cities, villages, and incorporated towns in the county in which the real property is located. Provides further requirements concerning a State agency's or governing body's interest in acquiring surplus real property. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
