149.050 Leasing and subleasing of lands by cabinet.

(1) The cabinet may lease or rent portions of lands acquired by it to responsible

persons, for cultivation and grazing, but in no event shall it lease or rent lands the

use of which would be detrimental to the growth of timber or destructive of game or

wild animal life. Proceeds resulting from the leasing of such lands shall be

deposited into the State Treasury.

(2) The cabinet may, with the consent of the owner of lands leased to it, sublease or

rent any of the leased lands in a manner that will not interfere with the growth of

timber or the propagation of game and wild animal life. If the lands are subleased or

rented under these conditions, the cabinet and the owner shall divide the proceeds

arising from the use of the lands, on a fifty-fifty basis, the cabinet's one-half (1/2)

shall be deposited into the State Treasury.

(3) In exercising the functions of this section the cabinet shall be exempted from any

provision of KRS 45.301 or 45A.045.
