This bill changes how the state of Kentucky handles the sale or transfer of state-owned real property. Before disposing of a property, the state must first check whether any state agency or local government wants to use it, and local governments would have a formal way to express interest in abandoned or underused state properties. It also requires the agency selling the property to keep it maintained and secure throughout the entire process. Who it may affect: local governments and state agencies involved in acquiring or managing public property.
