AN ACT CONVEYING A PARCEL OF STATE LAND TO THE CITY OF SHELTON.
This bill authorizes the state to sell a 6.49-acre parcel of land in Shelton to the city for $350,000 plus administrative fees. The sale requires approval from the State Properties Review Board, which must complete its review within 30 days of receiving the proposed agreement. Until the transfer is finalized, the land remains under state control, and the Department of Administrative Services handles all aspects of the transaction. The legislation makes no changes to existing laws other than establishing this specific land transfer.

MINOR
The bill was revised to add a specific requirement that the state must retain an easement on the land being sold. This easement allows state environmental staff to maintain monitoring wells and conduct post-closure monitoring for an adjacent closed landfill. The revision also reorganized the text to clarify that the State Treasurer must include these easement provisions in the final deed of conveyance.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to include ongoing environmental monitoring obligations on the conveyed property, ensuring the state retains access for safety checks even after the sale.
REQUIREMENT
Added a mandatory easement allowing state environmental staff to maintain monitoring wells and conduct post-closure monitoring on the sold land.
Updated the deed requirements to explicitly include provisions for carrying out the new easement obligations.
TECHNICAL
Reorganized the bill text to improve clarity and consistency with standard drafting conventions.
