GF=General Fund Municipal Impact:

None Explanation The bill modifies a conveyance of land that was first legislated in SA 95-25, then modified to correct a reversion to state control in PA 05-279.

Current ownership status of the property is unclear.

If the property is currently under state control, the bill results in a loss of an asset to the state.

If the property is currently under control of the private recipient, there is no immediate fiscal impact.

In either scenario, if the recipient fails to use the property for an allowable use between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2029 the asset would revert to state control under the revised terms of the bill.

The Out Years The conveyance action is one time in nature.

Control of the asset would continue into the future as described above.
