§ 6-21C-2.1. Findings and purpose
Status: in_force

A. The legislature finds that the expense of leasing office space for state occupancy has grown to the point that the state would be better served if more state-owned facilities were acquired.

Further, in anticipation of the state's future office space needs, the legislature finds it prudent to establish an office acquisition program.

B. The legislature also finds that, in extreme circumstances, it is advantageous for the state to fund certain critical facilities to avoid the need for leasing or paying emergency rents.

C. The purpose of the State Building Bonding Act is to acquire additional state office buildings and related facilities, or critical facilities located within the master planning jurisdiction of the capitol buildings planning commission, by issuing bonds paid for with distributions of gross receipts tax revenue that reflect a portion of the savings that will result from the conversion to more state-owned facilities.
