Section 63. Protection and management of state historic and cultural properties

The commissioner of the office of general services  or  the
  chief executive officer of any state agency shall:
    1.   Consult with the commissioner of parks and recreation as early in
  the planning process as may be practicable when planning to    demolish,
  alter  or  transfer  any property under their jurisdiction listed on the
  state  or  national  register  or  that  has  been  determined  by   the
  commissioner  of  parks  and  recreation  to  be  eligible for the state
  register, for the  purpose  of  exploring  alternatives  to  demolition,
  alteration  or transfer.  The commissioner of parks and recreation shall
  inform the state board of such proposed actions.
    2.  Initiate measures and procedures to provide for  the  maintenance,
  through  preservation, rehabilitation or restoration of properties under
  their jurisdiction that are listed on the state or national register  or
  are  determined  by  the  commissioner  of  parks  and  recreation to be
  eligible for listing on the state register.
    3.   Initiate measures to assure that  where  as  a  result  of  state
  action, a property listed in the state register of historic places is to
  be substantially altered or demolished, timely steps be taken to make or
  have  made records, including measured drawings, photographs and maps of
  the property  according  to  the  standards  of  the  Historic  American
  Building  Survey,  and  that a copy of such records then be deposited in
  the state archives and with the Library of Congress for future reference
  and use.
    4.  To  the  fullest  extent  practicable,  secure  by   preservation,
  restriction,  historic or cultural properties sold or transferred by the
  state, which properties are listed on the state or national register  or
  determined  by  the  commissioner of parks and recreation to be eligible
  for listing on the state register.
    5.    Cooperate  with  purchasers  and  transferees  of  state   owned
  properties listed on the state or national register or determined by the
  commissioner  of  parks and recreation to be eligible for listing on the
  state register in the development of viable plans to use  such  property
  in a manner compatible with preservation objectives.
