HSB 143

This bill concerns the disposition of real property belonging to the state and its agencies by the department of administrative services (DAS). The bill provides that the current requirement of receiving authorization of a constitutional majority of each house of the general assembly and approval by the governor prior to disposition of real property is limited to the disposition of real property on the capitol complex. For all other real property, the bill provides that the DAS director may dispose of the property on terms the director may determine with the approval of the executive council or by other authority granted by law. The bill provides that if the real property is under the jurisdiction or control of a state agency which has the express statutory power to dispose of the real property, the state agency must approve the DAS director’s proposed plan of disposition of that real property. Current provisions governing the disposition of proceeds from the sale of real property apply to the disposition of real property as provided by the bill.
