Page 277, after line 10, insert:
"F. The Department of Corrections shall buy back the 20 acre parcel at the Greensville Correctional Center that was sold to the Southside Regional Jail Authority for use as a regional jail site for the sum of $20,000.  This transaction shall be exempt from any statute, regulation, or procedure established for the acquistion of real property by state agencies."


Explanation
(This amendment directs the Department of Corrections to buy back a parcel of land sold to the Southside Regional Jail Authority for use as a regional jail site. Subsequent to the purchase, the authority acquired a more suitable site closer to the City of Emporia. The exemption will allow the Department to repurchase the parcel without reappraisals, surveys, title examination, environmental impact reviews, etc.)
