Sec. 2.08. Special reclamation programs.
(a)In addition to the authority to acquire land under Section 2.06, the Department may use funds provided under the Federal Act to acquire land by purchase, donation, or condemnation, to reclaim such acquired land and retain the land or transfer title to it to a political subdivision or to any person, firm, association, or corporation, if the Department determines that such is an integral and necessary element of an economically feasible plan for the project to construct or rehabilitate housing for persons who have a disability as the result of employment in the mines or work incidental thereto, persons displaced by acquisition of land under Section 2.06, or persons dislocated as the result of adverse effects of mining practices which constitute an emergency as provided in the Federal Act or persons dislocated as the result of natural disasters or catastrophic failures from any cause. No part of the funds provided under this Section may be used to pay the actual construction costs of housing.
(b)Use of funds under this Section shall be subject to requirements under the Federal Act with respect to such projects.
