LAND & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
H.B. 3366
By: Junell
4-14-97
Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND 

Currently, the commission may not sell or dispose of real property except
by specific authority of the legislature.  Problems are created during the
interim.  This bill would increase the flexibility for timing of property
disposition and improve the state's and GSC's ability to plan. 

PURPOSE

HB 3366 would expand the specific authority under which the commission
could sell or dispose  
real property to include the specific authority of the governor and
Legislative Budget Board, if the legislature is not in session. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency or
institution.

exception is in addition to the existing exception granted by the specific
authority of the legislature.
