§ 2.2-1150. Conveyance and transfers of real property by state agencies; approval of Governor and Attorney General; approval by General Assembly.
A. When it is deemed to be in the public interest,
1. Property owned by the Commonwealth may be sold, leased, or other interests therein conveyed to political subdivisions, public authorities, or the federal government, for such consideration as is deemed proper; and
2. Property owned by the Commonwealth and held in the possession of a department, agency or institution of the Commonwealth may be transferred to the possession of another department, agency or institution of the Commonwealth by the execution of an agreement between the heads of such departments, agencies or institutions.
