(1) If any public university that receives an appropriation in section 236 sells or otherwise disposes of agricultural land owned by that university, the university shall submit a report including the following information to the house and senate subcommittees on higher education, the house and senate fiscal agencies, and the state budget director:
(a) The location, size, and a legal description of the property that was sold.
(b) The sales price of the property.
(2) Upon receipt of a report under subsection (1), the state budget director shall reduce the next monthly payment described in section 241 by an amount equal to the sales price reported under subsection (1)(b). If a reduction under this subsection would cause the monthly payment to be a negative number, the state budget director shall instead completely withhold the next monthly payment, and reduce the subsequent payment by the difference between the sales price reported under subsection (1)(b) and the amount of the initial withheld payment.
(3) Any payment withheld under this section shall be allowed to lapse at the end of the fiscal year, and shall not be disbursed to the university from which it was withheld. ”.
