SB1335, as passed by the Senate, originally appropriated $1,000,000 to the Department of Economic Security for the Older Individuals Who Are Blind program. However, the House of Representatives adopted a strike-everything amendment that significantly changed the bill's focus.
The amended bill now relates to the sale of municipal real property. It authorizes cities or towns to sell real property valued between $1,500,000 and $15,000,000 through a resolution adopted by the governing body, rather than requiring approval by a special election. The bill outlines procedures for public hearings, notice requirements, and posting terms of sale on the city's or town's website upon completion of the sale. It also raises the threshold for requiring a special election from $1,500,000 to $15,000,000 and mandates that property be sold at no less than the appraised value. The bill includes technical and conforming changes and is set to become effective on the general effective date.
