Establishes a right of first refusal in municipalities for state land to be sold at public auction.

The bill amends the public lands law to establish a right of first refusal for municipalities when state land is to be sold at public auction. The commissioner of general services must first offer the land to local governments for a sum of one dollar if intended for park or municipal recreation purposes, or for its appraised value if for other municipal purposes. If the local government declines to purchase, the land may be sold to a private entity. The bill also outlines procedures for publishing notices of land sales and sets a deadline for municipalities to exercise their right to purchase.
