Permits the sale of state lands to municipal corporations either without consideration or for such consideration and upon terms approved by the commissioner of general services without a public auction.

This bill allows the state of New York to sell land to local governments either for free or for a price set by the commissioner of general services, without needing to hold a public auction. This could help municipalities acquire land more easily for public projects or services.

Supporters of the bill argue that it streamlines the process for local governments to obtain land, making it easier for them to develop community projects and improve public services. They believe this will lead to better use of state resources and foster local development.

Critics of the bill may express concerns that selling state land without a public auction could lead to favoritism or lack of transparency in the process. They might argue that this approach undermines public accountability and could result in the misuse of state assets.
