Removes proposed change to Section 12.2 of SL 2023-134 (the 2023 Appropriations Act) that would have expanded the recipients of the appropriation there to the Towns of Columbus and Tryon.

Specifies that the property is conveyed “as is” and “where is” without any warranties concerning the title to the property, the boundaries of the property, the uses to which the property may be put, zoning, local ordinances, or any physical, environmental, health, and safety conditions relating to the property. Directs that the City of Monroe will bear all costs associated with the conveyance. Exempts the conveyance from Article 7 of GS Chapter 146 (pertaining to dispositions of State property). Directs that provisions of Article 16 of GS Chapter 146 apply, except for GS 146-74 (concerning approval of conveyances).
