16         
17          (8)(a) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section,
18    the Division of State Lands is directed to prepare a state
19    inventory of all federal lands and all lands titled in the name
20    of the state, a state agency, a water management district, or a
21    local government on a county-by-county basis. To facilitate the
22    development of the state inventory, each county shall direct the
23    appropriate county office with authority over the information to
24    provide the division with a county inventory of all lands
25    identified as federal lands and lands titled in the name of the
26    state, a state agency, a water management district, or a local
27    government.
28          (b) The state inventory must distinguish between lands
29    purchased by the state or a water management district as part of
30    a core parcel or within original project boundaries, as those
31    terms are used to meet the surplus requirements of subsection
32    (6), and lands purchased by the state, a state agency, or a
33    water management district which are not essential or necessary
34    for conservation purposes.
35          (c) In any county in which more than 50 percent of the
36    lands within the county boundary are federal lands and lands
37    titled in the name of the state, a state agency, a water
38    management district, or a local government, those lands titled
39    in the name of the state or a state agency that are not
40    essential or necessary to meet conservation purposes may, upon
41    request of a public or private entity, be made available for
42    purchase through the state's surplusing process. Rights-of-way
43    for existing, proposed, or anticipated transportation facilities
44    are exempt from the requirements of this paragraph. Priority
45    consideration shall be given to buyers, public or private,
46    willing to return the property to productive use so long as the
47    property can be reentered onto the county ad valorem tax roll.
48    Property acquired with matching funds from a local government
49    shall not be made available for purchase without the consent of
50    said local government.
