GENERAL ORDERS

SB 483 (Allen)

The bill would amend Part 435 (Hunting and Fishing Licensing) of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to delete a requirement that a person not possess dogs used during the hunt, when accompanying a licensed hunter on a bear or bobcat hunt without a hunting license. Part 435 prohibits a person from hunting small game or bear, or trapping or hunting fur-bearing animals, unless he or she possesses the appropriate license. If authorized, a resident possessing a current small game license may take specified fur-bearing animals by means other than trapping during the open season for hunting them. A person who goes on a bobcat or bear hunt with a licensed hunter does not have to possess a license if he or she does not carry a firearm, bow, or crossbow and does not own or possess dogs used to chase or locate a bear or bobcat during the hunt. The bill would delete the reference to possession of dogs.

SB 596 (Prusi)

The bill (S-1) would authorize the State Administrative Board to convey certain property located in the City of Escanaba, Delta County, to Delta County for $1. The property would have to be used the exclusively for public purposes, including but not limited to an annual Upper Peninsula State Fair, and the State would be entitled to reenter and repossess the property if that condition were not met. Any fees, terms, or conditions for the use of the property would have to be applied uniformly to resident and nonresident members of the public. If the property were not sold to Delta County within six months after the bill's effective date, the Department of Management and Budget would have to take necessary steps to realize the best value for the property by preparing to convey it through competitive bidding, a public auction, use of real estate brokerage services, a value-for-value conveyance, or offering the property for sale for fair market value to a local unit or units of government. The property could be sold to a local unit for less than fair market value if it were used exclusively for public purposes. If the local unit intended to convey the property within three years of the conveyance from the State, the State would retain a right to first purchase the property at the original sale price. If the State waived this right, the local unit have to pay to the State 40% of the difference between the sale price of the conveyance from the State and the sale price of the local unit's subsequent sale or sales to a third party. All rights in aboriginal antiquities on, within, or under the property, would be reserved by the State. The State would not reserve the mineral rights to the property conveyed. However, if the purchaser or any grantee developed any oil, gas, or minerals found on, within, or under the conveyed property, the State would receive one-half of the gross revenue generated from the development of the minerals.
