The bill requires the state treasurer, on behalf of the state, to execute, no later than December 31, 2026, financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreements (financing agreements) to finance a portion of the capital costs related to the capital renewal of a facility at the Colorado school of mines. The financing agreements are to be issued in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $13 million plus reasonable and necessary administrative, monitoring, and closing costs and interest, including capitalized interest. The anticipated annual state-funded payments for the principal and interest components due under the financing agreements must not exceed the difference between $17.5 million and the amount of the annual state-funded payments for the agreements entered into pursuant to House Bill 24-1231, with principal amortization not occurring before July 1, 2027. The proceeds from the financing agreements will be used for the renewal of critical building systems of Guggenheim hall at the Colorado school of mines.
