Sec. 1.

(3) The property to be conveyed under this act is located in Windsor Township, Eaton County, Michigan, and is described as follows:

Sec. 2. The description of the property in section 1 is approximate and, for purposes of a conveyance under this act, may be adjusted as the state administrative board or the department of attorney general considers necessary because of a survey or another legal description.
Sec. 3. The fair market value of the property to be conveyed under this act must be determined by an appraisal based on the property's highest and best use, as prepared by an independent fee appraiser commissioned for that purpose by the department of technology, management, and budget.
Sec. 4. The property conveyed under this act must include all surplus, salvage, and scrap property and all permanent improvements made on the property as of the date of the conveyance.
Sec. 5. A conveyance under this act must be by a quitclaim deed that is prepared, or otherwise approved as to legal form, by the department of attorney general.
Sec. 6. This state shall not reserve oil, gas, or mineral rights to property conveyed under this act. However, the conveyance authorized under this act must provide that, if the Michigan Police Equipment Company or any successor in title develops any oil, gas, or minerals found on, within, or under the conveyed property, the Michigan Police Equipment Company or any successor must pay this state 1/2 of the gross revenue generated from the development of the oil, gas, or minerals. A payment under this section must be deposited in the general fund.
Sec. 7. A conveyance under this act 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. The net revenue received from the sale of property under this section must be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the general fund. As used in this section, "net revenue" means the proceeds from the sale of the property less reimbursement for any costs to the department of technology, management, and budget associated with the sale, including, but not limited to, surveying, appraising, researching, and closing a sale of the property plus the costs of any environmental remediation, legal fees, and any litigation related to the conveyance of the property.
