MI SB1280

Amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to allow the Department of Natural Resources to designate and sell state-owned land dedicated for public use as surplus land under specified conditions.

Permits surplus land sales if the land has been dedicated for public use for at least 5 years and is not needed to meet a department objective, is occupied by inadvertent trespass, or will promote forestry, forest products, or mineral extraction industries in Michigan.

Establishes that the department cannot authorize surplus land sales if proceeds would cause the fund balance to exceed $25,000,000.

Allows the department to price surplus land using appraisal, appraisal consulting, a uniform pricing schedule, or local assessor values, with sales conducted through public auction or negotiated sale.

Prohibits designation of land within state parks or state recreation areas as surplus, except as provided in section 74102b, and requires proceeds from sales to be deposited into the fund.
