Senate Bill 1403 (as reported from HAC)

Sponsor:  Sen. M. Switalski

Committee:  Appropriations

First Analysis (12-03-08 )

BRIEF SUMMARY:

            The bill authorizes the Department of Management and Budget to sell the former Woodward Corrections Center to Wayne State University for $1.00.  However, WSU must use the facility for public purposes.  The facility is an old motel that was purchased in 1987 by the Department of Corrections and converted into a parole facility.  It has been closed since 2005.

           

FISCAL IMPACT:

            Net proceeds from the sale are to be deposited into the state's General Fund.  Also, the             DOC spends about $130,000 annually for maintenance and security of the facility.
