Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Mineral payments and historic site rules
A sale includes any surplus, salvage, or scrap on the land. The state does not keep mineral rights, but if a buyer or later owner drills or mines, they must pay the state 50% of the gross revenue into the general fund. The state keeps rights to aboriginal antiquities and may enter the land to study or remove them. If a buyer breaks these deed rules or the public‑use limits, the state can take the land back and does not repay for improvements. The Attorney General can sue to recover possession.
Detroit can buy prison site for $1
For two years after this law takes effect, Detroit is the only buyer for the former Mound and Ryan prison land. The City can buy the whole site or parts for $1. Sales to Detroit or any local government must be for public use only, with equal access and a deed restriction. Before any later resale, the local unit must notify the state; the state can buy it back for one year at the original price, or collect 100% of any later resale gain. At closing, the buyer must repay the state’s documented prep costs, and DTMB may require deed recording at the buyer’s expense.
State opens sale of former prison land
The State Administrative Board can transfer about 96.14 acres at the former Mound and Ryan correctional sites in Detroit by quitclaim deed. DTMB may sell by bids, auction, broker, negotiated “best value” deals that weigh jobs and investment, to land banks, or to local governments at or below market price. Sales at fair market value must be backed by an independent appraisal. The Attorney General must approve the deed’s legal form. Net sale money after DTMB’s costs goes to Michigan’s general fund.
