Bill > HR97

This resolution authorizes the State of Georgia, acting through the State Properties Commission, to conduct various property transactions across multiple counties, including conveyances, leases, and exchanges of state-owned properties. The resolution covers properties in Bryan, Cherokee, Clarke, Colquitt, Effingham, Fulton, Glynn, Habersham, Hall, Henry, Miller, Sumter, and Tattnall Counties. These transactions include selling properties to local governments and entities for various considerations (sometimes as low as $10.00), leasing communication tower spaces to Southern Linc for 25-year terms, and exchanging property with private developers. Most transactions have a three-year expiration period and require the properties to be recorded in their respective county's Superior Court. The resolution also specifies that the properties will remain under the custody of their current state agencies (such as the Department of Corrections, Technical College System, or Department of Public Safety) until the conveyance is complete. A notable complex provision involves the Glynn County marshlands, where the state will transfer property to Glynn New Hope, LLC for a marsh wetland mitigation bank, with specific conditions about credit sharing and potential property return. The resolution will become effective upon gubernatorial approval or becoming law without approval, and it repeals all conflicting laws.
