The bill would allow the State Administrative Board to convey to Coldwater Township, a parcel of land in Branch County in exchange for another parcel of land of approximately equal or greater value in Coldwater Township, described in the bill. The conveyance to the township would have to provide that the property would have to be used for public purposes, and that upon termination of that use, or upon use for any other purpose, title to the property could revert immediately to the State, with the State assuming no liability for any subsequent improvements made to the property. Further, the conveyance would have to provide that if the property were used for a public park or for other public recreational purposes, all members of the public using the property would be subject to the same annual and daily fees, terms, and conditions. The conveyance also would have to provide that the grantee could waive daily fees and waive fees for the use of specific areas or facilities in the case of use by specified groups or classes of persons, but the waiver of fees would have to apply to all members of that group or class regardless of their residence. The conveyances to and from the township would be by quitclaim deed approved by the Attorney General.
