(3) The description of the property in subsection (1) is approximate and for purposes of the conveyances is subject to adjustment as the state administrative board or attorney general considers necessary by survey or other legal description.

(4) Any conveyance of property under subsection (2) must not contain any restriction, as required by section 3(10) of 1993 PA 38, relating to a memorandum of agreement between the department of management and budget, now the department of technology, management, and budget, and the Grand Traverse Commons Redevelopment Corporation. However, the conveyance must contain any other restrictions required by 1993 PA 38 and all of the following restrictions:

An action to regain possession of the property may be brought and maintained by the attorney general on behalf of this state.

(6) If this state reenters and repossesses property under subsection (5), 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.

(7) The state administrative board shall make the conveyance authorized by subsection (2) by quitclaim deed or other instrument approved by the attorney general.
