Sec. 3. The state administrative board, on behalf of this state, after receiving the conveyance authorized in section 1, shall reconvey to the city of Springfield, for consideration of $1.00, the real property described in section 1.
Sec. 4. The reconveyance under section 3 must state that the possibility of reverter held by this state and created by 1969 PA 50 and 1974 PA 267 and any conveyance made in accordance with those acts is released. That possibility of reverter is that the land is to be used for health care facilities and that on termination of that use or on use for another purpose the land reverts to this state.
Sec. 5. The reconveyance under section 3 shall not reserve the mineral rights to this state; however, the conveyance shall provide that if the grantee or any successor or assignee, including a lessee, derives any revenue from the development of any minerals found on, within, or under the conveyed property, the grantee, successor, or assignee shall pay 1/2 of that revenue to this state, for deposit in the state general fund.
Sec. 6. The reconveyance under section 3 must reserve to this state all aboriginal antiquities, including mounds, earthworks, forts, burial and village sites, mines, or other relics lying on, within, or under the property, with power to this state and all others acting under its authority to enter the property for any purpose related to exploring, excavating, and taking away the aboriginal antiquities.
Sec. 8. (1) If property conveyed under this act is used in a manner that violates any of the restrictions imposed under sections 5 or 6, this state may reenter and take the property, terminating the grantee’s or any successor’s estate in the property. An action to regain possession of the property under this section may be brought and maintained by the attorney general on behalf of this state.
(2) If this state reenters and repossesses property under subsection (1), this state is not liable to reimburse any person for any improvements made on the property or to compensate any person for any part of an unfulfilled contract or license issued to provide goods or services on or for the property.
Sec. 9. The reconveyance under section 3 shall be by quitclaim deed or other instrument approved by the attorney general.
This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
