Such requests for nonconservation lands shall be considered by the board within 60 days of the board's receipt of the request.

(2)  County or local government requests for the surplusing of state-owned conservation lands are subject to review of, and recommendation on, the request to the board by the Acquisition and Restoration Council. Requests to surplus conservation lands shall be considered by the board within 120 days of the board's receipt of the request.

(3)  A local government may request that state lands be specifically declared surplus lands for the purpose of providing affordable housing. The request shall comply with the requirements of subsection (1) if the lands are nonconservation lands or subsection (2) if the lands are conservation lands. Surplus lands that are conveyed to a local government for affordable housing shall be disposed of by the local government under the provisions of s. 125.379 or s. 166.0451.
