| | | Preamble. Whereas, the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section | | 23 requires that real estate held by the State for conservation | | or recreation purposes may not be reduced or its uses | | substantially altered except on the vote of 2/3 of all members | | elected to each House; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the nonreserved public lands authorized for conveyance | | by this resolve are under the designations described in the Maine | | Revised Statutes, Title 12, section 598-A; and |
|
| | | Whereas, the Director of the Bureau of Parks and Lands within | | the Department of Conservation may execute deeds on behalf of the | | State for nonreserved public lands, conveying lands that have | | been authorized for conveyance by the Legislature or sold by | | lawful authority subject to the provisions of the Maine Revised | | Statutes, Title 12, section 598-A; now, therefore, be it |
|
| | | Sec. 1. Director of Bureau of Parks and Lands authorized to convey certain | | nonreserved public lands in Maine. Resolved: That the Director of the | | Bureau of Parks and Lands within the Department of Conservation | | may by quitclaim deed, and subject to any restrictions and | | reservations to be agreed upon by the director, convey property | | commonly known as "community gardens," located on Winthrop Street | | in the Town of Hallowell, to Maine School Administrative District | | No. 16 at no cost; and be it further |
|
| | | Sec. 2. Property exempt from certain laws and requirements. Resolved: That, | | notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulatory | | requirement, the property transferred pursuant to this resolve | | may not first be offered to the Maine State Housing Authority or | | any other state or local agency. |
|
| | | This resolve authorizes the transfer of state-owned property, | | commonly known as "community gardens," located on Winthrop Street | | in Hallowell, to Maine School Administrative District No. 16. |
