Massachusetts H16 amends county land disposition rules, requiring fair market value sales and using proceeds for jail construction or reimbursement.

Massachusetts H16 modifies county land disposition regulations, stipulating that any county-owned real estate, including jails, must be sold at fair market value. The net proceeds from these sales are designated for constructing new jails, jail additions, temporary jail facilities, or reimbursing the commonwealth for related expenditures or loans. The bill also mandates that any real estate offered for sale or lease by a county must first be offered to the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance, who has 90 days to accept or decline the offer.
