Section 2. Consideration for conveyance of the rights to the parcels described in Section 1 of this act is one dollar.

Section 3. The conveyance authorized by this act is conditioned upon the receipt by Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., of a grant from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to construct a residential facility for chronically mentally ill persons. If, within one year after the effective date of this act, Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., has not executed an agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development under which Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., will receive the grant to construct the facility, the interests conveyed by this act shall immediately revert to the State without the need for any further action by the State.

Section 4. All costs of the conveyances described in Section 1 of this act shall be paid by Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc.

Section 5. Upon receipt of the consideration, the Auditor of State, with the assistance of the Attorney General, shall prepare a deed to the real estate. The deed shall state the consideration and the condition. The deed shall be executed by the Governor in the name of the state, countersigned by the Secretary of State, sealed with the Great Seal of the State, presented in the Office of the Auditor of State for recording, and delivered to the grantee. The grantee shall present the deed for recording in the Office of the County Recorder of Wood County.

Section 6. This act expires one year after its effective date.

Section 7. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that its enactment into law at the earliest possible time will enable Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., to proceed with construction by March 1997, which is necessary to avoid rebidding the project and to enable Behavioral Connections of Wood County, Inc., to receive a grant of approximately one million dollars from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to construct and operate a residential facility for chronically mentally ill persons. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect.
