1 18 EXPLANATION
1 19 This bill prohibits actions involving the sale or long-term
1 20 use of the real estate that includes native American burial
1 21 sites and deep loess soils and other natural resources.
1 22 The bill provides that Code section 218.94 is not
1 23 applicable to the real estate associated with the state
1 24 resource center that is located in a county that is a member
1 25 of the loess hills development and conservation authority.
1 26 These counties are located in southwest Iowa. Code section
1 27 218.94 authorizes the director of human services to secure
1 28 options to purchase real estate, acquire and sell real estate,
1 29 and grant utility easements in connection with the state
1 30 institutions administered by the director. Under the Code
1 31 section, any proceeds from a sale are to be deposited in the
1 32 general fund and are appropriated to the department for the
1 33 purchase of other real estate or for capital improvements.
1 34 The bill allows the director to grant a utility easement
1 35 for such real estate, but prohibits the director, the
2 1 department, or any other person from selling or taking any
2 2 action affecting the ownership or use of such real estate
2 3 unless expressly authorized to do so by statute.
2 4 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
