The State shall, prior to public auction to dispose of any land and improvements which it has acquired within 10 years of the final decision to dispose of the land and improvements at issue, or any interest therein or option therefor, notify and provide the owners of record of the property at the time of the acquisition the right to repurchase their interest at the current fair market value of that interest, as assembled to the former owner's property. The State shall notify the previous owner of record by certified mail to the most current address of record of that owner and by public notice in two newspapers of general circulation in the area wherein the land is located. The State Treasurer shall have the authority, through rules and regulations, to establish the period of time by which the previous owner of record must respond, following receipt of notice to the most current address of record of that owner. If the previous owner of record does not respond within the period of time established by the State Treasurer, the previous owner's right to repurchase the interest before it is disposed of at public auction shall expire. The owner of record shall not include the heirs or devisees of the owner of record.
