This section permits no-cost conveyance of qualifying land and nondwelling structures to States for National Guard purposes. The conveyance must protect the United States and allow reversion after prohibited use or transfer.
Despite other law, the Secretary* of Housing* and Urban Development may convey by quitclaim deed, without payment, qualifying land and nondwelling structures to a State* for National Guard purposes. The United States must be protected from, or reimbursed for, conveyance costs the Secretary considers proper. The deed must say that if the State stops using the land for that purpose or transfers or tries to transfer it, the United States may choose to take title back.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary* of Housing* and Urban Development is authorized to convey by quit claim deed, without consideration, to any State* for National Guard purposes any land, together with any nondwelling structures thereon, held under subchapters II to VII of this chapter or any other Act in connection with war or veterans’ housing: Provided, That the United States shall be saved harmless from or reimbursed for such costs incidental to the conveyance as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development may deem proper: Provided further, That the conveyance of such land shall contain the express condition that if the grantee shall fail or cease to use such land for such purposes, or shall alienate (or attempt to alienate) such land, title thereto shall, at the option of the United States, revert to the United States.
