Tax-forfeited lands settlement appropriation

Maddy summaryThis bill provides $109 million from the state's general fund to settle a lawsuit regarding the state's retention of tax-forfeited lands and mineral rights. It establishes a framework for participating counties to sell properties forfeited between 2012 and 2023, requiring them to auction or broker these lands for at least their appraised value in cash. Under the agreement, a significant portion of the sale proceeds must be sent to the state, while counties retain the remainder for their own use. Counties that choose not to participate in the settlement will remain fully responsible for any legal claims related to properties forfeited before January 1, 2024. The legislation also mandates regular reporting on the sale efforts and outcomes for participating counties.
