Section 7. Transfer of funds. The department of fish, wildlife, and parks and the department of transportation are authorized to transfer either or both the appropriations and authority in [sections 4 through 6] among the necessary fund types for these projects.
Section 8. Capitol land grant revenue. The appropriation of up to $500,000 in capitol land grant revenue to the department of administration for the capitol annex or alternatives feasibility study is the last priority for use of these funds during the 2007 biennium and is dependent upon the availability of revenue. To the extent that capitol land grant revenue is not sufficient to fund this project, the balance of the appropriation may come from reversions in the long-range building program account made during the 2006-2007 biennium. If necessary, this project may be phased in as these funds become available.
Section 9. Planning and design. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the department of administration may proceed with the planning and design of capital projects prior to the receipt of money from other funding sources. The department may use interaccount loans in accordance with 17-2-107 to pay planning and design costs incurred before the receipt of money from other funding sources.
(2) The department may not expend funds appropriated for statewide roof repair in [section 2] or under subsection (1) of this section until after the department has entered into a contract for roof repair at the Pine Hills school in Miles City.
Section 10. Capital projects -- contingent funds. If a capital project is financed, in whole or in part, with appropriations contingent upon the receipt of other funding sources, the department of administration may not let the project for bid until the agency has submitted a financial plan for approval by the director of the department of administration. A financial plan may not be approved by the director if:
(1) the level of funding provided under the financial plan deviates substantially from the funding level provided in [sections 2 through 6] for that project; or
(2) the scope of the project is substantially altered or revised from the preliminary plans presented for that project in the 2007 biennium long-range building program presented to the 59th legislature.
Section 11. Review by department of environmental quality. The department of environmental quality shall review capital projects authorized in [sections 2 through 6] for potential inclusion in the state building energy conservation program under Title 90, chapter 4, part 6. When a review shows that a capital project will result in energy improvements, that project must be submitted to the energy conservation program for funding consideration. Funding provided under the energy conservation program guidelines must be used to offset or add to the authorized funding for the project, and the amount will be dependent on the annual utility savings resulting from the facility improvement. Agencies must be notified of potential funding after the review.
Section 12. University buildings -- operation and maintenance. (1) The 59th legislature finds that the operation and maintenance of portions of new building space that supports academic missions of the university system should be funded with current unrestricted university funds. The funding of current unrestricted university funds is shared between state general fund, tuition, and other minor sources.
(2) The office of budget and program planning, the architecture and engineering division of the department of administration, the legislative fiscal division, and the Montana university system are directed to come to an agreement and to recommend to the 60th legislature the portions of new building space that support academic missions of the university system and funding allocations between the general fund and tuition. If the legislative audit division conducts a performance audit of the university system building program, then the office of budget and program planning, the architecture and engineering division of the department of administration, the legislative fiscal division, and the Montana university system shall take the results of the audit into consideration in making a recommendation.
(3) If the university system chooses to build nonacademic buildings, the operation and maintenance costs for the buildings must be funded from nonstate and nontuition sources.
Section 13. Legislative consent. The appropriations authorized in [sections 1 through 6] constitute legislative consent for the capital projects contained in [sections 1 through 6] within the meaning of 18-2-102.

(2) The department, with the consent of the commission, may acquire by condemnation, as provided in Title 70, chapter 30, lands or structures for the preservation of historical or archaeological sites that are threatened with destruction or alteration.
(3) (a) The Subject to [section 2(3)], the department, with the consent of the commission, may dispose of lands and water rights acquired by it on those terms after public notice as required by subsection (3)(b) of this section, without regard to other laws that provide for sale or disposal of state lands and with or without reservation, as it considers necessary and advisable. The department, with the consent of the commission, may convey department lands and water rights for full market value to other governmental entities without regard to the requirements of subsection (3)(b) or (3)(c) if the land is less than 10 acres or if the full market value of the interest to be conveyed is less than $20,000. When the department conveys land or water rights to another governmental entity pursuant to this subsection, the department, in addition to giving notice pursuant to subsection (3)(b), shall give notice by mail to the landowners whose property adjoins the department property being conveyed.
(b) Notice Subject to [section 2(3)], notice of sale describing the lands or waters to be disposed of must be published once a week for 3 successive weeks in a newspaper with general circulation printed and published in the county where the lands or waters are situated or, if a newspaper is not published in that county, then in any newspaper with general circulation in that county.
(c) The notice must advertise for cash bids to be presented to the director within 60 days from the date of the first publication. Each bid must be accompanied by a cashier's check or cash deposit in an amount equal to 10% of the amount bid. The highest bid must be accepted upon payment of the balance due within 10 days after mailing notice by certified mail to the highest bidder. If that bidder defaults on payment of the balance due, then the next highest bidders must be similarly notified in succession until a sale is completed. Deposits must be returned to the unsuccessful bidders except bidders defaulting after notification.
(d) The department shall reserve the right to reject any bids that do not equal or exceed the full market value of the lands and waters as determined by the department. If the department does not receive a bid that equals or exceeds fair market value, it may then sell the lands or water rights at private sale. The price accepted on any private sale must exceed the highest bid rejected in the bid process.
(4) The department shall convey lands and water rights without covenants of warranty by deed executed by the governor or in the governor's absence or disability by the lieutenant governor, attested by the secretary of state and further countersigned by the director.
(5) The department, with the consent of the commission, is authorized to utilize the installment contract method to facilitate the acquisition of wildlife management areas in which game and nongame fur-bearing animals and game and nongame birds may breed and replenish and areas that provide access to fishing sites for the public. The total cost of installment contracts may not exceed the cost of purchases authorized by the department and appropriated by the legislature.
(6) The department is authorized to enter into leases of land under its control in exchange for services to be provided by the lessee on the leased land."

(iv) money received from the sale of any other hunting and fishing license.
(2) Except as provided in 87-2-411, the money described in subsection (1) must be exclusively set apart and made available for the payment of all salaries, per diem, fees, expenses, and expenditures authorized to be made by the department under the terms of this title.
