§ 2-a. Certain transfers of jurisdiction over state-owned lands and

declarations of abandonment by the commissioner of general services. 1.

When the commissioner of general services proposes to transfer

jurisdiction over state lands pursuant to subdivision four of section

three without the application or consent therein provided or when the

commissioner proposes to declare real property as abandoned pursuant to

subdivision two of section thirty-a, he shall give written notice of

such intention to the agency having jurisdiction over such land, and in

the case of a transfer of jurisdiction pursuant to subdivision four of

section three, to the state agency to which jurisdiction is proposed to

be transferred.

2. Unless within thirty days from the date such notice is given, an

agency entitled to notice pursuant to subdivision one hereof objects to

such proposed action, the commissioner of general services may effect

such transfer of jurisdiction or declaration of abandonment.

3. If within thirty days of the giving of such notice, any state

agency entitled to notice pursuant to subdivision one hereof objects to

the action proposed by the commissioner by filing notice to such effect

with the commissioner of general services, such proposed action shall be

reviewed by the director of the budget, and the secretary of state. They

shall affirm or reverse the proposed action by the commissioner and that

decision shall be final. If they affirm the proposed action or fail to

render a determination within six months of the date of the notice

referred to in subdivision one, the commissioner may thereupon effect

such transfer or declaration of abandonment.
