Senate concurs in House amendments to bill authorizing conveyance of state land to Madison County
Summary
Senate voted to concur in House amendments to Substitute Senate Bill 217, which authorizes conveyance of state‑owned land (managed by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction) to the Madison County Board of Commissioners with sale price to be acceptable to agency directors.
The Ohio Senate agreed to concur in House amendments to Substitute Senate Bill 217, which authorizes conveyance of state‑owned land currently managed by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to the Madison County Board of Commissioners. Senator Landis summarized the House amendment removing an explicit sale price for a parcel in Madison County and requiring an acceptable price be set by the directors of administrative services and rehabilitation and corrections.
Senator Landis urged concurrence, describing the amendment as a clarification that leaves price determination to agency directors rather than specifying a sale price in statute. Senator DeMora briefly supported the measure, noting similar conveyances historically tied to university and campus construction projects and urging colleagues to concur.
The clerk called the roll and the chair announced that the Senate concurred in House amendments with the recorded tally announced as 33 yeas and 0 nays. The motion carried and the amended bill will be returned to the House under the terms read on the floor.
