Senate Bill No. 31, introduced by Senator Jenkins, authorizes the commissioner of administration to transfer a specific parcel of state property located in Caddo Parish to Jeremy Lance Evans and Karen A. Evans. The property in question is approximately 0.696 acres of dried lake bed situated between the land owned by the Evans and Caddo Lake, and the transfer will exclude mineral rights. The bill outlines the necessary agreements and documents that the commissioner must execute to facilitate this transfer, ensuring that the transaction is proportionate to the appraised value of the property.
The bill also stipulates that it will become effective upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature. This legislation aims to streamline the process of transferring state property while maintaining the state's mineral rights.
