       Section 4. (A) This section is remedial, with its purpose318
being to remedy an error in Amended Substitute Senate Bill No. 319
250, passed by the 123rd General Assembly on May 24, 2000, 320
approved by the Governor on June 21, 2000, and effective on June 321
21, 2000, by adding language that was removed erroneously from the 322
original legal description for the parcel of real estate 323
designated as "Parcel No. 3" in Section 12 of that act that 324
authorized the conveyance of property the Adjutant General 325
determined was no longer needed for armory or military purposes. 326
The legal description contained in that act was erroneous because 327
it did not reflect an easement which, instead of being reserved to 328
the original grantor, was actually a part of the original grant of329
land to the State of Ohio, Adjutant General's Department. Thus,330
the Adjutant General's Department could not properly transfer all331
of the land it was originally granted. The purpose of this section332
is to authorize the conveyance of the property located in Scioto333
County, Ohio, using the description contained in Amended334
Substitute Senate Bill No. 250 of the 123rd General Assembly, with335
the addition of the description of the easement for ingress and336
egress to the property, originally granted to the State of Ohio.337

       (B) Pursuant to section 5911.10 of the Revised Code, the338
Governor is hereby authorized to execute a deed in the name of the339
state conveying to C-FORCE, Inc., its successors and assigns, all340
of the state's right, title, and interest in the following341
described parcels of real estate and improvements on them that the342
Adjutant General has determined are no longer required for armory343
or military purposes, that are located in Scioto County, and that344
are known as the Portsmouth Armory, motor vehicle storage345
building, and organizational maintenance shop:346
