The sponsor's argument
Why Gustavo Rivera says this is needed
This legislation is to effectuate the release of the reverter and revesting of title under that certain Letters of Patent, dated August 24, 2005, recorded on January 20, 2006 in the City Register's Office, County of Bronx at CRFN 2006000036695. In order to effectuate the reverter, the State and Catholic Guardian Services, successor in inter- est to Catholic Home Bureau, intend to enter into a letter agreement wherein Catholic Guardian Services will provide a deed to the State to be held in escrow. The State will then hold a public auction for the property under Section 33 of the Public Lands Law. The deed will be released from escrow at the closing and the State will convey the prop- erty to the successful auction bidder. The State has agreed to reimburse Catholic Guardian Services for certain fair and holding expenses to be determined by the Commissioner of the Office of General Services (OGS), which will be a percentage of protective costs and expenses previously paid by Catholic Guardian Services. The legislation is needed in order to give the OGS Commissioner the authority to make such reimbursement payment to Catholic Guardian Services in connection with the reverter and sale process.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
