This amendment specifies that the property to be sold is for transitional housing for veterans, and not a homeless veterans shelter. It also specifies that the properties at 6 and 10 Arsenal Heights Drive may be sold only if the Commissioner of Health and Human Services has certified to the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services that the Department of Health and Human Services has no need for the properties for forensic psychiatric patients. The amendment corrects the address of one of the buildings from 7 to 17 Independence Drive. It also increases the time before the resolve is repealed from 3 to 5 years.
