✔️ HB379
Authorize the conveyance of state-owned land
Summary
HB379 authorizes the conveyance of state-owned land in Greene and Tuscarawas counties, as well as to the Eastland-Fairfield Career and Technical School District and the Groveport Madison Local School District. The bill stipulates that the Governor may execute deeds for the sale of the land, which must be determined as surplus property by the Director of Administrative Services. The conveyance includes all improvements and is subject to existing leases and restrictions, with a sale process involving sealed bids or public auctions.
Rationale
The bill involves government control over property transactions and the potential for eminent domain, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of minimal government interference and property rights. However, it allows for the sale of surplus property, which aligns somewhat with free market principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for government overreach in property transactions
- Eminent domain implications
- Lack of transparency in the sale process
