How the state can sell or lease public land
The state board can sell, lease, or give permission to use public land, and can grant permanent easements for specific purposes. If the purpose ends, the land returns to the state. Anyone who had a previous public land deal canceled for breaking its terms cannot get new public land for five years.

The statute, as written — Disposition of public lands
Except as otherwise provided by law and subject to other provisions of this chapter, the board may: (1) Dispose of public land in fee simple, by lease, lease with option to purchase, license, or permit; and (2) Grant easement by direct negotiation or otherwise for particular purposes in perpetuity on such terms as may be set by the board, subject to reverter to the State upon termination or abandonment of the specific purpose for which it was granted, provided the sale price of such easement shall be determined pursuant to section 171-17(b). No person shall be eligible to purchase or lease public lands, or to be granted a license, permit, or easement covering public lands, who has had during the five years preceding the date of disposition a previous sale, lease, license, permit, or easement covering public lands canceled for failure to satisfy the terms and conditions thereof.
