Section 2. State-owned real property inventory and management program

1.
  Definitions.   As used in this section,  unless  the  context  otherwise
  requires:
    a.   "State  agency"  shall  mean  any  department,  division,  board,
  commission, bureau, office or other agency of the  state  other  than  a
  public  authority  or  public  benefit  corporation, except that for the
  purpose of subdivision two hereof, the term  shall  include  any  public
  authority  or public benefit corporation any member or director of which
  is appointed by the governor and having jurisdiction, custody or control
  of any state-owned real property.
    b. "State-owned real property" shall include all lands and  buildings,
  structures,  facilities,  and  improvements  thereon,  title to which is
  vested in the people of the state of New York.
    2. State-owned real property inventory. The  commissioner  of  general
  services  shall establish, maintain and have the custody of an inventory
  of all state-owned real property, as  an  aid  in  the  utilization  and
  management  of  the  land  resources  of  the state. The inventory shall
  include any state-owned real property under the jurisdiction, custody or
  management of any  state  agency,  whether  acquired  by  appropriation,
  purchase, gift or otherwise. In order to provide an accurate and current
  inventory  for  use  by  the  commissioner  of  general  services, state
  agencies and the legislature, the commissioner may by rule or regulation
  prescribe the elements, extent and  format  of  the  information  to  be
  included   and   the   procedures   for   collection,  presentation  and
  verification of the information to be contained in the inventory.    The
  commissioner  shall  by  rule  or regulation, and upon the advice of the
  comptroller,  prescribe  the  elements,  extent  and   format   of   the
  information   to   be   included  and  the  procedures  for  collection,
  presentation,  and  verification  of  such  information   necessary   to
  establish and maintain a set of general fixed asset accounts that comply
  with  generally  accepted accounting principles. Each state agency shall
  deliver to the commissioner of general services such information at  the
  times  and  in  the  manner as determined by him to be necessary for the
  establishment and maintenance of the  inventory  and  shall  permit  the
  commissioner   and   his  agents  to  make  such  physical  and  records
  inspections as deemed necessary by the commissioner for the purposes  of
  the inventory program.
    3.  State-owned  real property management program. The commissioner of
  general services is authorized  and  directed  to  study,  evaluate  and
  coordinate  state  agency management practices, plans and procedures for
  the  acquisition,  utilization  and  disposition  of  state-owned   real
  property,  and to advise and assist state agencies in the improvement of
  such management practices, plans and procedures.
