AB 386 – Restrictions on the purchase price of land sold by land trusts to the DNR

This bill prohibits the DNR from purchasing land from any nonprofit organization for an amount that exceeds the amount that the nonprofit organization paid to purchase that land or the fair market value of the land at the time of the agency's acquisition, whichever is lower.

The bill also provides that, if a nonprofit organization owns land acquired by gift, donation, or devise, a state agency or authority may only acquire that land from the nonprofit organization if the land is given or donated to the state agency or authority by the nonprofit organization. The payment restriction created in the bill does not apply to land acquired by a state agency or authority by condemnation.
