(2015-2016)

An Act authorizing the division of capital asset management and maintenance to grant to The Association for Community Living, Inc. certain parcels of land in the city of Springfield.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to convey forthwith certain parcels of land, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

         SECTION 1.  Notwithstanding sections 32 to 37, inclusive, of chapter 7C of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance may, in consultation with the department of developmental services, convey to The Association for Community Living, Inc., a certain parcel of land for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and operating a residential facility for individuals with developmental disabilities. The parcel of land authorized to be conveyed is described as lot 12 in a plan entitled “Subdivision Plan of Land in Springfield” dated February 9, 1996, prepared by Hill Engineers Architects Planners, Surveyors and recorded with the Hampden county registry of deeds as land court plan number 18020-G, and is a portion of the property acquired by the commonwealth by deed in an instrument recorded with the Hampden county registry of deeds as document number 40444 in certificate of title number 13908.

SECTION 2. The conveyance of the property described in section 1 shall be for nominal consideration.   In the event that the property is no longer used for the purpose set forth in section 1 then, upon any sale or other conveyance of the property by The Association for Community Living, Inc.,   50 percent of the net proceeds from such sale shall be paid to the commonwealth as additional consideration, provided, however, that in the event the property is sold by the holder of a mortgage on the property, no such payment to the commonwealth shall be required.

         SECTION 3.  Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, The Association for Community Living, Inc. shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the conveyance authorized in section 1 as determined by the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance, including, without limitation, the costs of any surveys, plans and recording fees.
