Fiscal Detail and Notes
Limiting publicly owned land to certain percentages of total land areas will result in costs for any state agency that is buying land to ascertain the amounts of publicly held land in each instance of a purchase; the amounts can not be determined at this time.  If these limitations prohibit the prospective purchase of a particular piece of land by any state agency, there will be a reduction of expenditures by that agency; the amount of possible savings in this scenario can not be determined at this time.
