Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Allowing the sale of certain state-owned armories would increase dedicated revenue collected by the Department of 
Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management for the Capital Repair Account; the amounts will depend on any 
negotiated sale price and cannot be determined at this time. In addition, the sale of any state-owned armories will 
result in General Fund savings from maintenance costs that would no longer need to be met.
