229.121  State board authorized to exchange land.--

(1)  The State Board of Education of this state is hereby authorized in its discretion to exchange land of the State School Fund held by said board for other land in this state held by any other state agency, or by any county in this state, or by any person, private or corporate, where such exchange will be advantageous to said fund.

(2)  The said State Board of Education shall have authority to fix the terms and conditions of any such exchange and to select and agree upon the lands to be conveyed to and to be received by said board, and to make and enter into contracts and agreements therefor. To be acceptable, the land to be received by said board in exchange shall be free of tax or other debt and shall be clear as to title.

(3)  In making exchange of land, the said board may in its discretion convey said land without the reservation of oil, gas, or of phosphate and other minerals required by s. 270.11, where deeds to land received in exchange convey title in fee simple without such reservations, or to determine the part or parts to be reserved and the part or parts to be conveyed so as to facilitate exchange on a basis as nearly equal as may be.

(4)  The land comprising part of the State School Fund shall not be subject to taxes of any kind whatsoever, but shall enjoy constitutional immunity therefrom, nor shall taxes of any kind be imposed thereon; nor, since not subject to tax, shall the state or any state agency be liable for taxes or the equivalent thereof sought to be imposed upon said land. All outstanding tax sale certificates against land of the state school fund are hereby canceled.

(5)  Any such exchanges of land heretofore made by said State Board of Education are hereby confirmed and validated.
