Such property only is subject to sale pursuant to Article 15, Chapter 35, Title 11 after one of the following events occurs:

        (1)    the 1890 Research and Extension declines to claim or accept possession of the property in a timely fashion as provided in this section; or

        (2)    the property claimed or in the possession of the 1890 Research and Extension is returned to the department.

    (B)    The department regularly shall notify the 1890 Research and Extension in writing of the state inventory of the property described in this section and offer to arrange for delivery or transfer to the 1890 Research and Extension. The 1890 Research and Extension shall notify the department in writing of its decision to claim or accept possession of the property within ten business days of receipt of notice from the department. The 1890 Research and Extension is deemed to have declined any property which is not timely and expressly claimed or accepted in writing."
