5.12that the property is no longer usable or needed by the public officer or agency to carry
5.13out the governmental program for which it was acquired or constructed bettered, the
5.14sale is made as authorized by law, the sale is made for fair market value, and the sale is
5.15approved by the commissioner.
5.16    (b) If any state bonds issued to purchase or better the state bond financed property
5.17that is sold remain outstanding on the date of sale, the net proceeds of sale must be
5.18applied as follows:
5.19    (1) if the state bond financed property was acquired and bettered solely with state
5.20bond proceeds, the net proceeds of sale must be paid to the commissioner and deposited
5.21in the state treasury; or
5.22    (2) if the state bond financed property was acquired or bettered partly with state
5.23bond proceeds and partly with other money, the net proceeds of sale must be used:
5.24first, to pay to the state the amount of state bond proceeds used to acquire or better the
5.25property; second, to pay in full any outstanding public or private debt incurred to acquire
5.26or better the property; third, to pay interested public and private entities, other than any
5.27public officer or agency or any private lender already paid in full, the amount of money
5.28contributed to the acquisition or betterment of the property; and fourth, any excess over the

5.30to the acquisition or betterment of the property and paid to the interested public and
5.31private entities, other than any private lender already paid in full, and the proceeds are
5.32appropriated for this purpose. In calculating the share contributed by each entity, the

5.34property that was bettered by state bond proceeds at the time the betterment began.
6.1    (c) If no state bonds issued to purchase or better the state bond financed property
6.2that is sold remain outstanding on the date of sale, the net proceeds of the sale must be
