118.2. (SR: Titling

comprehensive central property and office facility management process to plan
for the needs of state government agencies and to achieve maximum efficiency
and economy in the use of state owned or state leased real properties. The
Department of Administration is directed to identify all state owned properties
whether titled in the name of the state or an agency or department, and all
agencies and departments of state government are upon request to provide the
department all documents related to the title and acquisition of the real
properties that are occupied or used by the agency or titled in the name of the
agency. Except for any properties where the department determines title should
not be in the name of the State because the properties are subject to reverter
clauses or other restraints on the property, or where the department determines
the state would be best served by not receiving title, and with the exception
of properties, highways and roadways owned by the Department of Transportation,
title of any property held by or acquired by a state agency or department shall
be titled in the name of the state under the control of the Department of
Administration. Titling in the name of the state shall not affect the

Public Railways; the MUSC Hospital Authority; the Myrtle Beach Air Force
Redevelopment Authority; the Department of Transportation; the Midlands

Enterprise Campus Authority; the Area Commission of Tri-County Technical
College; and the Charleston Naval Complex Redevelopment Authority.

comprehensive and supersedes any conflicting provisions concerning title and
acquisition and disposition of state owned real property whether in permanent
law, temporary law or by provision elsewhere in this act.
The Department of
Administration is directed to provide to the Department of Education, funds
equal to the amount realized from the sale of the Greenville Halton Road Bus
