32. a. All land within the district shall be divided by the commission into three classes as follows:

(1) Class one--Land owned by the State of New Jersey, any of its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality which enjoys the privilege of general property tax exemption under the laws of the State, and which land is designated by the owner as presently or ultimately intended for a public use.

(2) Class two--Land owned by the State of New Jersey, any of its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality which enjoys the privilege of general property tax exemption under the laws of the State, and which land is designated by the owner as ultimately disposable to private ownership, or usable by private parties.

(3) Class three--All other land.

b. The State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality owning land in the district shall be required to certify to the commission, by a date established by the commission, whether said lands are in class one or class two; and in the case of land being in class one, the State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality, as appropriate, shall indicate the nature of the present or ultimate use. The commission shall approve or modify the certifications by resolution. The commission may also reclassify lands by a majority vote, upon the request of the State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality owning land in the district for such reclassification.

c. In the case that the title of lands designated to be in class three passes to the State of New Jersey, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality, the commission shall change the designation of the class of that land to reflect the future use of that land.
