20         253.034  State-owned lands; uses.--
21         (6)  The Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
22  Trust Fund shall determine which lands, the title to which is
23  vested in the board, may be surplused. For conservation lands,
24  the board shall make a determination that the lands are no
25  longer needed for conservation purposes and may dispose of
26  them by an affirmative vote of at least three members. In the
27  case of a land exchange involving the disposition of
28  conservation lands, the board must determine by an affirmative
29  vote of at least three members that the exchange will result
30  in a net positive conservation benefit. For all other lands,
31  the board shall make a determination that the lands are no

 1  longer needed and may dispose of them by an affirmative vote
 2  of at least three members.
 3         (f)1.  In reviewing lands owned by the board, the
 4  council shall consider whether such lands would be more
 5  appropriately owned or managed by the county or other unit of
 6  local government in which the land is located. The council
 7  shall recommend to the board whether a sale, lease, or other
 8  conveyance to a local government would be in the best
 9  interests of the state and local government. The provisions of
10  this paragraph in no way limit the provisions of ss. 253.111
11  and 253.115. Such lands shall be offered to the state, county,
12  or local government for a period of 30 days. Permittable uses
13  for such surplus lands may include public schools; public
14  libraries; fire or law enforcement substations; and
15  governmental, judicial, or recreational centers; and
16  affordable housing meeting the criteria of s. 420.0004(3).
17  County or local government requests for surplus lands shall be
18  expedited throughout the surplusing process. If the county or
19  local government does not elect to purchase such lands in
20  accordance with s. 253.111, then any surplusing determination
21  involving other governmental agencies shall be made upon the
22  board deciding the best public use of the lands. Surplus
23  properties in which governmental agencies have expressed no
24  interest shall then be available for sale on the private
25  market.
26         2.  Notwithstanding subparagraph 1., any surplus lands
27  that were acquired by the state prior to 1958 by a gift or
28  other conveyance for no consideration from a municipality, and
29  which the department has filed by July 1, 2006, a notice of
30  its intent to surplus, shall be first offered for reconveyance
31  to such municipality at no cost, but for the fair market value

 8  surplusing requests for state-owned lands directly to the
 9  board of trustees. County or local government requests for the
10  state to surplus conservation or nonconservation lands,
11  whether for purchase or exchange, shall be expedited
12  throughout the surplusing process. Property jointly acquired
13  by the state and other entities shall not be surplused without
14  the consent of all joint owners.
15         (1)  The decision to surplus state-owned
16  nonconservation lands may be made by the board without a
17  review of, or a recommendation on, the request from the
18  Acquisition and Restoration Council or the Division of State
19  Lands. Such requests for nonconservation lands shall be
20  considered by the board within 60 days of the board's receipt
21  of the request.
22         (2)  County or local government requests for the
23  surplusing of state-owned conservation lands are subject to
24  review of, and recommendation on, the request to the board by
25  the Acquisition and Restoration Council. Requests to surplus
26  conservation lands shall be considered by the board within 120
27  days of the board's receipt of the request.
28         (3)  A local government may request that state lands be
29  specifically declared surplus lands for the purpose of
30  providing affordable housing. The request shall comply with
31  the requirements of subsection (1) if the lands are
                                  3
