Section 3. The conveyance authorized by this act is 62
conditioned upon the receipt by Behavioral Connections of Wood 64
County, Inc., of a grant from the federal Department of Housing 66
and Urban Development to construct a residential facility for
chronically mentally ill persons. If, within one year after the 67
effective date of this act, Behavioral Connections of Wood 68
County, Inc., has not executed an agreement with the Department 70
of Housing and Urban Development under which Behavioral 71
Connections of Wood County, Inc., will receive the grant to
construct the facility, the interests conveyed by this act shall 72
immediately revert to the State without the need for any further 73
action by the State.
Section 4. All costs of the conveyances described in 75
Section 1 of this act shall be paid by Behavioral Connections of 76

the Governor in the name of the state, countersigned by the 84
Secretary of State, sealed with the Great Seal of the State, 85
presented in the Office of the Auditor of State for recording, 86
and delivered to the grantee. The grantee shall present the deed 87
for recording in the Office of the County Recorder of Wood 88
County.
Section 6. This act expires one year after its effective 90
date.
Section 7. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency 92
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 93
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that 95
its enactment into law at the earliest possible time will enable 96
Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., to proceed with 97
construction by March 1997, which is necessary to avoid rebidding 98
the project and to enable Behavioral Connections of Wood County, 99
Inc., to receive a grant of approximately one million dollars 100
from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to 101
construct and operate a residential facility for chronically 102
mentally ill persons. Therefore, this act shall go into 103
immediate effect.
