The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will assume full administrative jurisdiction and responsibility for the property after the transfer.

The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget will coordinate and implement the transfer, with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs reimbursing it for any incurred costs, such as survey and recording fees. The property includes all improvements made on the land and any surplus, salvage, or scrap property or equipment remaining on the property at the time of the transfer.
