ROSCOMMON CO. CONVEYANCE - H.B. 4840: FLOOR ANALYSIS

House Bill 4840 (as discharged)

Sponsor: Representative John Gernaat

House Committee: Regulatory Affairs

Senate Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs

CONTENT

The bill would authorize the Department of Natural Resources, on behalf of the State, to convey a parcel of real property to the Roscommon Metropolitan Recreational Authority, for $1. The property is under the jurisdiction of the Department and is located in Roscommon County. The conveyance would have to provide that the property would have to be used exclusively for public recreational purposes and, upon termination of that use or use for any other purpose, the State could reenter and repossess the property, terminating the grantee's estate in it. The conveyance also would have to provide that if the grantee disputed the State's exercise of its right of reentry and failed to deliver possession of the property promptly to the State, the Attorney General could bring an action to quiet title to the property and regain possession of it.

The conveyance would have to be by quitclaim deed approved by the Attorney General and convey all rights held by the State to coal, oil, gas, and other minerals, excluding sand, gravel, clay, or other nonmetallic minerals found on or under the property.
