State officials transfer two Fremont County land parcels under set rules

The Department of Health must convey the parcel's surface estate to the Wyoming Department of Transportation. The parcel is about 28.94 acres in Fremont County and is held for the Wyoming State Training School. The transfer must preserve other rights and estates connected to the parcel. Existing easements, setbacks, and recorded restrictions remain in place. The transfer requires no payment for the land, but the Department of Transportation must pay necessary survey, title insurance, and closing costs. The Department of Health must consult with the city of Lander, the Board of Land Commissioners, and the Office of State Lands and Investments. The transfer may take effect once the act becomes effective after all constitutionally required steps for the bill to become law are completed.

The Department of Health may convey the parcel, in one or more transfers, to purchasers who agree to use it only for residential housing. The parcel is about 90.87 acres in Fremont County and is held for the Wyoming State Training School; the transfers may cover the whole parcel or portions of it. The conveyances must follow Wyoming land-disposal law except where this section provides different rules. Purchasers must pay necessary survey, title insurance, and closing costs. Existing rights, easements, setbacks, and recorded restrictions remain in place. Each purchaser must agree to residential use only, and each conveyance must let the state seek liquidated damages if that promise is broken. The conveyances may occur once the act becomes effective after all constitutionally required steps for the bill to become law are completed.
