CHAIR MCCABE announced the first order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 282, "An Act relating to access roads; relating
to state land; relating to contracts for the sale of state land;
relating to the authority of the Department of Education and
Early Development to dispose of state land; relating to the
authority of the Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities to dispose of state land; relating to the authority
of the Department of Natural Resources over certain state land;
relating to the state land disposal income fund; relating to the
sale and lease of state land; relating to covenants and
restrictions on agricultural land; and providing for an
effective date."

REPRESENTATIVE MINA questioned whether both the Department of
Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF), and the Department
of Education and Early Development (DEED) would be online for
questions. She stated she wished to learn more about the
experience DOT&PF had with land disposal and how the bill would
streamline the department's efforts.
1:47:29 PM
HEATHER O'CLARAY, Statewide Right-of-Way Chief, Department of
Transportation & Public Facilities, answered questions on behalf
of the bill sponsor, House Rules by request of the governor.
She explained that DOT&PF has much experience with regard to
disposal, and there are different independent authorities for
highways, airports, and facilities.
REPRESENTATIVE MINA asked what background DOT&PF had in land
disposals related to commercial development that the bill would
enact.
MS. O'CLARAY replied it was difficult to answer, and that
DOT&PF's facilities are not geared towards commercial use, but
geared towards transportation uses. The department disposes of
property when it becomes excess to its needs, she said.
