property was heretofore acquired or is hereafter acquired; second, as provided
by any other act of the General Assembly; third, the net proceeds shall be
deposited with the State Treasurer. Provided, however, nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the disposition of any State lands by exchange for
other lands, but if the appraised value in fee simple of any property involved
in the exchange is at least twenty‑five thousand dollars ($25,000), then
such exchange may not be made without consultation with the Joint Legislative
