| Summary |
Current law requires the office of legislative legal services to have
suitable office space in the state capitol building. The bill modifies this
requirement by allowing the office space for the office of legislative legal
services to be in the state capitol complex and within one-quarter mile of
the state capitol building.
For every appropriation from the general fund, the capital
construction fund, or the controlled maintenance trust fund in the capital
construction section of the annual general appropriation act, the general
assembly is currently required to provide funding for annual
depreciation-lease equivalent payments. The bill requires the general
assembly to also provide funding for annual depreciation-lease equivalent
payments for appropriations from the revenue loss restoration cash fund
in the capital construction section of the annual general appropriation act.
In addition, for the 2023-24 fiscal year through the 2028-29 fiscal year,
the bill requires the state controller to transfer the money for the annual
depreciation-lease equivalent payments for the applicable fiscal year on
July 1 rather than on June 30.
Current law allows the state treasurer, upon the request of the
capital development committee, to make a transfer from the general fund
to the capitol complex master plan implementation fund in an amount
equal to $20 million less the amount transferred to the national western
center trust fund. On July1, 2023, and each July 1 thereafter through July
1, 2028, the bill requires the state treasurer to transfer the amount
transferred to the capitol complex master plan implementation fund to the
capitol complex renovation fund.
Current law specifies that the legislative department has control of
and is responsible for supervising the maintenance of legislative spaces
in certain buildings in the capitol complex and the grounds adjacent to the
capitol building. These legislative spaces currently include 2 floors of the
capitol building annex at 1375 Sherman street. The bill repeals the
specific designation of 2 floors in the capitol building annex as legislative
space and requires the executive committee of the legislative council, the
director of the division of capital assets, the secretary of the senate, the
chief clerk of the house of representatives, the director of the office of
legislative legal services, the director of research of the legislative
council, and the state auditor to determine, prior to the beginning of the
2025 legislative session, which areas in the capitol building annex are
legislative space.
In addition, the bill requires the general assembly to vacate the
legislative space at the state office building at 1525 Sherman street within
one year after the completion of the renovation of the capitol building
annex at 1375 Sherman street and specifies that thereafter, such space in
the office building at 1525 Sherman street will be executive space.
