Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill authorizes, but does not require, the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services to convey 3 parcels of state property by quitclaim deed. The properties consist of 3 former court facilities located in York County, none of which have been occupied since the State opened the York Judicial Center in 2023. If neither the Maine State Housing Authority nor a local public housing authority exercises the first option to purchase one or more of the parcels for residential housing, the Commissioner may sell the property through a competitive process. Any proceeds from the sale of these parcels must be deposited in the Capital Construction and Improvement Reserve Fund within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. The Governor's proposed supplemental budget for fiscal year 2024-25 includes one-time funding in fiscal year 2023-24 to maintain the 3 former court facilities in York County.
