Deed or lease by county commissioners to Adjutant General
Official statutory text
The board of county commissioners of any county in the state is
hereby authorized to convey title by deed, or lease for a term of
years, any lands and buildings belonging to or under the control of
the county which are not needed for county purposes, to the Adjutant
General acting as trustee for the Oklahoma National Guard. The
Adjutant General shall not accept any such deed or lease unless the
approval of the Governor of the acceptance be endorsed thereon
attested by the Secretary of State. It shall not be necessary that
the Adjutant General pay any consideration for such deed of
conveyance or lease. After such deed or lease has been delivered
and accepted the Adjutant General shall be authorized to expend
funds appropriated to the Military Department of the state for the
maintenance, repair, and improvement of the lands and buildings,
conveyed or leased. Every such deed or lease shall contain a
reversionary clause to the effect that if the State of Oklahoma or
the Military Department thereof abandons such lands or buildings
they shall revert to the county. All such lands so conveyed or
leased to the Adjutant General shall be under his supervision as to
control and management. Provided, however, that the provisions of
this act shall not in any wise apply to any real estate or property
acquired by the county commissioners at resale.
