The proposed bill would update current statutes by mandating the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) to lease the Marana Prison Site to the U.S. Government or a private contractor of the U.S. Government for a nominal fee of $1 per year. This lease would be for an initial term of four years, with an option for a two-year extension. The bill also stipulates that the lease agreement must require the lessee to maintain the site in good condition and adhere to industry standards for any repairs or refurbishments.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions allowing ADOA to terminate the lease under specific conditions, including providing a 12-month written notice and demonstrating the need for the facility to house state inmates or having an agreement for a purchaser of the site. The bill includes a sunset clause, stating that the lease agreement will be repealed after September 30, 2032. Overall, these changes aim to formalize the leasing process and establish clear responsibilities and conditions for the management of the Marana Prison Site.
