An Act authorizing the Department of General Services, with the approval of the Governor, to grant and convey to Gaudenzia DRC, Inc., certain lands situate in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County.
This bill authorizes the Pennsylvania Department of General Services to transfer a 2.7-acre tract of land in Philadelphia, formerly part of the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute, to an organization called Gaudenzia DRC, Inc. for a nominal fee of one dollar. The transfer is conditional on the new owner using the property exclusively for drug and alcohol rehabilitation purposes, with a clause requiring the land to revert to the state if this restriction is violated or if the property is sold within 20 years. Additionally, the deal includes a permanent ban on using any part of the land for licensed gaming facilities, and the transaction requires final approval from the Governor.
