                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONVEYANCE AND TRANSFERS OF REAL PROPERTY BY STATE AGENCIES; APPROVAL OF
GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GENERAL; NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY (§
2.2-1150)

A. When it is deemed to be in the public interest.

   1. Property owned by the Commonwealth may be sold, leased, or other interests
   therein conveyed to political subdivisions, public authorities, or the federal
   government, for such consideration as is deemed proper; and

   2. Property owned by the Commonwealth and held in the possession of a
   department, agency or institution of the Commonwealth may be transferred to
   the possession of another department, agency or institution of the
   Commonwealth by the execution of an agreement between the heads of such
   departments, agencies or institutions.

B. No transaction authorized by this section shall be made without the prior
written recommendation of the Department to the Governor, the written approval
of the Governor of the transaction itself, and the approval of the Attorney
General as to the form of the instruments prior to execution.
			Prior to entering into any negotiations for the conveyance or transfer of any
portion of Camp Pendleton or any military property that has been or may be
conveyed to the Commonwealth pursuant to a recommendation by the Defense Base
Closure Realignment Commission, the Department shall give written notice to all
members of the General Assembly within the planning district in which such
property is located. If, within 30 days of receipt of the Department&#8217;s
notice, 25 percent of such members of the General Assembly give notice to the
Department that they object to such conveyance or that they require additional
information, the Department shall conduct a meeting, with written notice thereof
to all members of the General Assembly within that planning district, at which
the Department and such members shall discuss the proposed transaction. Members
of the General Assembly objecting to the proposed transaction after the meeting
shall convey their objections in detail to the Governor, who shall consider the
objections. Certification of compliance with the foregoing requirements by the
Governor in a deed or other instrument conveying or transferring any portion of
Camp Pendleton or any such military property, absent knowledge by the purchaser
or transferee to the contrary, shall serve as prima facie evidence of compliance
with this subsection.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection B, a public institution of
higher education may convey an easement pertaining to any property such
institution owns or controls provided that the institution meets the conditions
prescribed in subsection A of &#xA7; 23.1-1002 and &#xA7; 23.1-1019 (regardless
of whether or not the institution has been granted any authority under Article 4
(&#xA7; 23.1-1004 et seq.) of Chapter 10 of Title 23.1).
