Committee advances bill to allow Audubon land conveyances with State Historical Society review
Summary
Senate Bill 473, which requires State Historical Society review before Audubon conveyances and contemplates an easement, was reported favorably by voice vote and placed on the committee’s consent calendar.
Senator Francisco moved that Senate Bill 473 be reported favorably and placed on the committee’s consent calendar; the motion was seconded and the committee approved it by voice vote.
During discussion, Senator Alley asked whether the State Historical Society must release or approve conveyances. Senator Francisco pointed to bill language (page 2) that states no conveyance of real estate authorized under the subsection shall be made by Audubon until the deeds and conveyances have been reviewed and approved by the State Historical Society. Francisco said the Historical Society had indicated it would like to have an easement as part of that review and approval.
The chair called the voice vote; members signified 'Aye' and the chair announced that the motion carried. The bill was reported out favorably and the chair indicated it would be placed on the consent calendar unless pulled for separate consideration.
No roll‑call vote was recorded in the committee transcript. The transcript also references prior testimony from the State Historical Society in earlier proceedings, and senators discussed ensuring the society’s review and any easement are reflected in the conveyance process.
