§ 2. State-owned real property inventory and management program. 1.
Definitions. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise

commission, bureau, office or other agency of the state other than a
public authority or public benefit corporation, except that for the
purpose of subdivision two hereof, the term shall include any public
authority or public benefit corporation any member or director of which

2. State-owned real property inventory. The commissioner of general
services shall establish, maintain and have the custody of an inventory
of all state-owned real property, as an aid in the utilization and
management of the land resources of the state. The inventory shall
include any state-owned real property under the jurisdiction, custody or
management of any state agency, whether acquired by appropriation,
purchase, gift or otherwise. In order to provide an accurate and current
inventory for use by the commissioner of general services, state
agencies and the legislature, the commissioner may by rule or regulation
prescribe the elements, extent and format of the information to be
included and the procedures for collection, presentation and
verification of the information to be contained in the inventory. The
commissioner shall by rule or regulation, and upon the advice of the
comptroller, prescribe the elements, extent and format of the
information to be included and the procedures for collection,
presentation, and verification of such information necessary to
establish and maintain a set of general fixed asset accounts that comply
with generally accepted accounting principles. Each state agency shall
deliver to the commissioner of general services such information at the
times and in the manner as determined by him to be necessary for the
establishment and maintenance of the inventory and shall permit the
commissioner and his agents to make such physical and records
inspections as deemed necessary by the commissioner for the purposes of
the inventory program.

3. State-owned real property management program. The commissioner of
general services is authorized and directed to study, evaluate and
coordinate state agency management practices, plans and procedures for
the acquisition, utilization and disposition of state-owned real
property, and to advise and assist state agencies in the improvement of
such management practices, plans and procedures.
