2. Unless within thirty days from the date such notice is given, an agency entitled to notice pursuant to subdivision one hereof objects to such proposed action, the commissioner of general services may effect such transfer of jurisdiction or declaration of abandonment.
3. If within thirty days of the giving of such notice, any state agency entitled to notice pursuant to subdivision one hereof objects to the action proposed by the commissioner by filing notice to such effect with the commissioner of general services, such proposed action shall be reviewed by the director of the budget, and the secretary of state. They shall affirm or reverse the proposed action by the commissioner and that decision shall be final.
