Current law requires the Natural Resources Board (board) to offer for sale at least 10,000 acres of land that is owned by this state, that is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources, and that is outside project boundaries that were established before May 1, 2013. The proceeds from the sale of the land is used for the payment of principal on outstanding public debt incurred under the Warren Knowles-Gaylord Nelson stewardship 2000 program. The board must offer the land for sale on or before June 30, 2017.
