1 2 the following new unnumbered paragraph:
1 3 NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH. Due to the presence of native

1 13 department of human services, or any other person shall not
1 14 sell, enter into a long-term lease, or take any action

1 19 EXPLANATION
1 20 This bill prohibits actions involving the sale or long-term
1 21 use of the real estate that includes native American burial
1 22 sites and deep loess soils and other natural resources.
1 23 The bill provides that Code section 218.94 is not
1 24 applicable to the real estate associated with the state
1 25 resource center that is located in a county that is a member
1 26 of the loess hills development and conservation authority.
1 27 These counties are located in southwest Iowa. Code section
1 28 218.94 authorizes the director of human services to secure
1 29 options to purchase real estate, acquire and sell real estate,
1 30 and grant utility easements in connection with the state
1 31 institutions administered by the director. Under the Code
1 32 section, any proceeds from a sale are to be deposited in the
1 33 general fund and are appropriated to the department for the
1 34 purchase of other real estate or for capital improvements.
1 35 The bill allows the director to grant a utility easement
2 1 for such real estate, but prohibits the director, the
2 2 department, or any other person from selling, entering into a
2 3 long-term lease, or taking any action affecting the ownership
2 4 or use of such real estate unless expressly authorized to do
2 5 so by statute.
2 6 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
