AN ACT

To repeal section 49.292, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to transfers of real property to counties.




Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:


            Section A. Section 49.292, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 49.292, to read as follows:

            49.292. 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the county commission of any county may reject the transfer of title of real property to the county by donation or dedication if the commission determines that such rejection is in the public interest of the county.

            2. No transfer of title of real property to the county commission or any other political subdivision by donation or dedication authorized to be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds shall be valid unless it has been proved or acknowledged. The preparer of the document relating to subsection 1 of this section shall not submit a document to the recorder of deeds for recording unless the acceptance thereof of the grantee named in the document has been proved or acknowledged. No water or sewer line easement shall be construed as a transfer of title of real property under this subsection.
