Text

A state agency may, when it deems such action to be in the best interest of the state, grant
easements upon or across any real property which it administers and which is owned by the
state for the use or benefit of a state institution under its jurisdiction.
Any property rights transferred under the authority of this section must be transferred and
conveyed by quitclaim instrument or easement executed in the name of the state of North
Dakota by the governor and attested by the secretary of state. Such quitclaim instrument or
easement must contain specific legal descriptions of the property right transferred and the
location thereof.
Upon the granting of an easement under the authority of this section any proceeds must be
used in the following manner:
1. If the property is the subject of a devise, legacy, bequest, or gift to the institution the
proceeds of the easement are subject to the provisions of sections 1-08-02 and
1-08-04.
2. If the property is not subject to sections 1-08-02 and 1-08-04, the proceeds of the
easement must be deposited in the special operating fund of the institution or, if no
such operating fund then exists, such proceeds must be deposited in the general fund
in the state treasury.
