§ 6305. Exchanges of land
In exercising its authority to acquire property by exchange, a department may accept
real property and rights and interests in the real property, and may convey to the
grantor of such real property or rights and interests in the real property any State-owned
property under the jurisdiction of the department, but only with the favorable advice
and recommendation of the Interagency Committee on Natural Resources. In effecting
such exchanges, the department may also utilize for exchange purposes any privately
owned land and rights and interests in the land donated or made available to it for
such purpose of an exchange. The land and rights and interests thus exchanged shall
be approximately equal in fair market value, provided that the department may accept
cash from or pay cash to the grantor in such an exchange, in order to equalize the
value of the property and rights and interests in the property being exchanged. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of law and with the approval of the Interagency Committee on
Natural Resources, State real property and rights and interests in the property may,
with the authorization of the department or other agency having custody thereof, be
transferred without consideration to the jurisdiction of a department designated under
section 6302 of this title for use in carrying out the provisions of this chapter. (Added 1969, No. 229 (Adj. Sess.), § 6; amended 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 21.)
