13 (Substantial rewording of section. See
14 s. 253.42, F.S., for present text.)
15 253.42 Board of trustees may exchange lands.--The
16 provisions of this section apply to all lands owned by, vested
17 in, or titled in the name of the board whether the lands were

1 public purpose. For conservation lands acquired by the state
2 through gift, donation, or any other conveyance for which no
3 consideration was paid, the state may request land of equal
4 conservation value from the county or local government but no
5 other consideration.
6 (2) In exchanging state-owned lands not acquired by
7 the state through gift, donation, or any other conveyance for
8 which no consideration was paid, with counties or local
9 governments, the board shall require an exchange of equal
10 value. Equal value is defined as the conservation benefit of
11 the lands being offered for exchange by a county or local
12 government being equal or greater in conservation benefit than
13 the state-owned lands. Such exchanges may include cash
14 transactions if based on an appropriate measure of value of
15 the state-owned land, but must also include the determination
16 of a net-positive conservation benefit by the Acquisition and
17 Restoration Council, irrespective of appraised value.
18 (3) The board shall select and agree upon the state
19 lands to be exchanged and the lands to be conveyed to the
20 state and shall pay or receive any sum of money deemed
21 necessary by the board for the purpose of equalizing the value
22 of the exchanged property. The board is authorized to make and
23 enter into contracts or agreements for such purpose or
24 purposes.
