DIVISION 2: EXECUTIVE BRANCH
§ 2677. Public Lands: Lease Enforcement; Other Requirements. [Repealed and reenacted by PL 12-33, § 3.] Source: PL 10-57, § 3 (2677); subsection (c)(3) amended by PL 10-90, § 2(c); subsection (d) amended by PL 11-13, § 2; repealed and reenacted by PL 12-33, § 3. Commission Comment: PL 10-57 § 3 repeals existing 1 CMC, Div. 2, Ch. 13 and creates new Ch. 13 (“Department of Lands and Natural Resources”) which includes: new Art. 1 (“General.”), 1 CMC §§ 2651-2656; new Art. 2 (“Division of Fish and Wildlife.”), 1 CMC § 2661; new Art. 3 (“Public Lands.”), 1 CMC §§ 2671-2677; new Art. 4 (“Division of Land Registration.”), 1 CMC § 2681; and new Art. 5 (“Division of Zoning.”), 1 CMC § 2691. The effective date of PL 11-13, that amended subsection (d) of this section, is June 8, 1998. Section 1 of PL 11-13 set forth purpose and findings as follows: Section 1. Purpose and Finding. The legislature finds those non-profit schools who are providing standard academic courses are burdened with the high cost of rental or lease payments for private and public land. Further, the legislature finds that the current real estate appraisal value of property has increased. The legislature further finds that this cost is one of the many factors of the high tuition rate that is passed on to the students. Furthermore, the legislature finds that these non-profit schools provide essential services to the community and thus, the purpose of this amendment is to reduce the cost of rental or lease payments to these nonprofit schools when renting or leasing public property to construct and/or establish the institution. In the third to the last sentence of former subsection (d) of this section, the word “provided” following the words “provided in” has been deleted as a manifest typographical error. PL 12-33, § 3, which took effect December 5, 2000, repealed and reenacted Article 3 as Chapter 14 under Division 2 of Title 1.
