An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in disposition of Commonwealth surplus land, further providing for limited definitions, for annual property survey, for property disposition and for conditions upon conveyances; and making an editorial change.
SB 243 amends Pennsylvania's 1929 Administrative Code to update rules for disposing of Commonwealth-owned surplus land. It clarifies that "surplus property" excludes state parks, forests, and lands held by specific agencies like the Fish and Boat Commission. The bill requires annual surveys to identify surplus land and mandates a formal disposal plan considering factors like agricultural use, cost savings, local government needs, and fair market value. All sales must follow public notice, competitive bidding, and require the sale price to reflect fair market value or equivalent long-term benefits to the Commonwealth.
