This bill requires the State of New Jersey to sell 10.01 acres of land and improvements at 5 Jean Street in Morris Township (known as the Morris Regional Day School) to the Morris County Educational Services Commission for $1. The property, deemed surplus by the state, will be transferred "as is" without state responsibility for repairs or upgrades, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to change the property being transferred from the 'Morris Regional Day School' to a different property called 'Central Park School' (10.01 acres at 5 Jean Street, Morris Township), and to shift responsibility for the sale from the State Treasurer to the Department of the Treasury. The bill also moved from the Assembly Health Committee to the Assembly Budget Committee and gained two additional Senate sponsors.

Scope change

The bill now targets a different specific property (Central Park School at 5 Jean Street) rather than the previously identified Morris Regional Day School, while maintaining the same buyer (Morris County Educational Services Commission) and the same one-dollar purchase price.

SCOPE

The property subject to the mandatory sale was changed from 'Morris Regional Day School' to 'Central Park School,' a 10.01-acre parcel at 5 Jean Street, Block 901 Lot 2, Morris Township, Morris County.

A new section was added that specifically identifies the Central Park School property by address, acreage, and tax map designation, and authorizes its sale as surplus real property to the Morris County Educational Services Commission for one dollar.

REQUIREMENT

Responsibility for executing the sale and conveyance was changed from the State Treasurer to the Department of the Treasury.

TECHNICAL

Two additional Senate sponsors (Anthony M. Bucco, District 25; Joseph Pennacchio, District 26) were added, and the reporting committee changed from Assembly Health to Assembly Budget.
