4.16shall be subject to like restrictions as are now imposed by that act on federal lands.

4.25by the authority having jurisdiction over the land, in the manner otherwise provided by
4.26law for the sale of such lands, if the authority determines that it is in the public interest
4.27to do so. If the authority having jurisdiction over the land is not the commissioner of
4.28natural resources, the land may not be offered for sale without the prior approval of the
4.29commissioner of natural resources.
4.30(d) Where the authority having jurisdiction over lands withdrawn from sale under
4.31this section is not the commissioner of natural resources, the authority may submit
4.32proposals for disposition of the lands to the commissioner. The commissioner of natural
4.33resources shall evaluate the lands and their public benefits and make recommendations on
4.34the proposed dispositions to the committees of the legislature with jurisdiction over natural
4.35resources. The commissioner shall include any recommendations of the commissioner for
5.1disposition of lands withdrawn from sale under this section over which the commissioner
5.2has jurisdiction. The commissioner's recommendations may include a public sale, sale to a
5.3private party, acquisition by the Department of Natural Resources for public purposes, or a
