following as a new subsection:

                    (d)

                              (1) Notwithstanding subsection (a) and this part, the commissioner of
                    environment and conservation, with the approval of the state building
                    commission, may enter into the agreements contemplated in this section for the
                    private development, redevelopment, construction, and operation of facilities on
                    lands under its jurisdiction, and the department of environment and conservation
                    may supervise the construction. Such agreements may include provisions for the
                    sale, lease, or other conveyance of state-owned real property, subject to the
                    approval of the commissioner of environment and conservation and the state
                    building commission. The requirements of § 12-2-112 do not apply to such

deleting the language "Notwithstanding any other provisions of this part" and substituting
"Notwithstanding this part, except as provided in subsection (d)".

          SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
