Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: |
|
22
|
|
|
23
|
Section 1. Paragraph (f) of subsection (6) of section |
|
24
|
253.034, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
|
25
|
253.034 State-owned lands; uses.-- |
|
26
|
(6) The Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement |
|
27
|
Trust Fund shall determine which lands, the title to which is |
|
28
|
vested in the board, may be surplused. For conservation lands, |
|
29
|
the board shall make a determination that the lands are no |
|
30
|
longer needed for conservation purposes and may dispose of them |
|
31
|
by a two-thirds vote. In the case of a land exchange involving |
|
32
|
the disposition of conservation lands, the board must determine |
|
33
|
by at least a two-thirds vote that the exchange will result in a |
|
34
|
net positive conservation benefit. For all other lands, the |
|
35
|
board shall make a determination that the lands are no longer |
|
36
|
needed and may dispose of them by majority vote. |
|
37
|
(f) In reviewing lands owned by the board, the council |
|
38
|
shall consider whether such lands would be more appropriately |
|
39
|
owned or managed by the county or other unit of local government |
|
40
|
in which the land is located. The council shall recommend to the |
|
41
|
board whether a sale, lease, or other conveyance to a local |
|
42
|
government would be in the best interests of the state and local |
|
43
|
government. The provisions of this paragraph in no way limit the |
|
44
|
provisions of ss. 253.111 and 253.115. Such lands shall be |
|
45
|
offered to the state, county, or local government for a period |
|
46
|
of 30 days. Permittable uses for such surplus lands may include |
|
47
|
public schools; public libraries; fire or law enforcement |
|
48
|
substations; and governmental, judicial, or recreational |
|
49
|
centers. County or local government requests for surplus lands |
|
50
|
shall be expedited throughout the surplusing process. If the |
|
51
|
county or local government does not elect to purchase such lands |
|
52
|
in accordance with s. 253.111, then any surplusing determination |
|
53
|
involving other governmental agencies shall be made upon the |
|
54
|
board deciding the best public use of the lands. Surplus |
|
55
|
properties in which governmental agencies have expressed no |
|
56
|
interest shall then be available for sale on the private market. |
|
57
|
Notwithstanding this paragraph, any surplus lands that were |
|
58
|
acquired by the state prior to 1960 by a gift or other |
|
59
|
conveyance for no consideration from a municipality shall be |
|
60
|
first offered for reconveyance at no cost to such municipality, |
|
61
|
unless otherwise provided in a deed restriction of record. |
|
62
|
Section 2. Subsection (1) of section 274.02, Florida |
|
63
|
Statutes, is amended to read: |
|
64
|
274.02 Record and inventory of certain property.-- |
|
65
|

|
66
|

|
67
|
nature the value of which is $1,000$750or more and the normal |
|
68
|
expected life of which is 1 year or more. |
|
