§ 15. Return of property
(a) Whenever the need for the purposes of this chapter of any real or personal property
acquired under this chapter shall terminate, the Governor may dispose of such property
on such terms and conditions as he or she deems appropriate, but to the extent feasible
and practicable the Governor shall give to the former owner of any property so disposed
of an opportunity to reacquire it:
(1) at its then fair value as determined by the Governor; or
(2) if it is to be disposed of, other than at a public sale of which the Governor shall
give reasonable notice, at less than such value, at the highest price any other person
is willing to pay for the property.
(b) The Governor need not provide an opportunity to reacquire property in the case of
items that lose their identity in use or to property having a fair value of less than
$500.00. (Amended 2021, No. 20, § 118.)
