13. (a) Lands acquired by a local unit with the aid of a grant under this act shall not be disposed of or diverted to a use for other than recreation and conservation purposes without the approval of the commissioner and the State House Commission. Such approval of the State House Commission shall not be given unless the local unit shall agree to pay an amount equal to 50% of the value of such land, as determined by the commission, into the State Recreation and Conservation Land Acquisition Fund, if the original grant shall have been made from that fund, or, if not, then into the State Treasury. Money so returned to said fund shall be deemed wholly a part of the portion of that fund available for grants to local units under this act. (b) Lands acquired by the State under this act with money from the State Recreation and Conservation Land Acquisition Fund shall not be disposed of or diverted to use for other than recreation and conservation purposes without the approval of the State House Commission and unless the disposal or diversion is executed in accordance with P.L.1993, c.38 (C.13:1D-51 et al.). Such approval shall not be given unless the commissioner shall agree to pay an amount equal to the value of such land, as determined by the commission, into that fund. Money so returned to said fund shall be deemed wholly a part of the portion of that fund available for land acquisition by the State under this act. (c) If land acquired by the State under this act with money from the State Recreation and Conservation Land Acquisition Fund is subsequently developed for any water supply projects, the commissioner shall pay an amount equal to the value of the land so developed, as said value is determined by the State House Commission, into that fund. Money so returned to the fund shall be deemed wholly a part of the portion of that fund available for land acquisition by the State under this act. The commissioner shall make said payment from any funds available for such purpose in the State Water Development Fund or other water development moneys appropriated and available for such purpose.
