§ 766. Reservation of lands to be sold
Upon written notice to the head of a State agency administering State lands, given
by the State Historic Preservation Officer, with the advice of the State Archaeologist,
the agency head shall reserve from sale any State lands, including lands forfeited
to the State for nonpayment of taxes, on which sites or artifacts are located or may
be found, as designated by the State Archaeologist under section 763 of this title; provided, however, that the reservation of the lands from sale may be confined to
the actual location of the site or artifacts. When the sites or artifacts have been
explored, excavated, or otherwise examined to the extent desired by the State Archaeologist,
he or she shall then file with the agency head a statement releasing the lands and
permitting their sale. (Added 1975, No. 109, § 4; amended 1995, No. 46, § 48.)
