The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 134, mandates the Commissioner of Administrative Services to conduct a study on the feasibility, benefits, and disadvantages of repurposing or selling underutilized state-owned buildings. This study will also assess any potential impacts on the municipalities where these buildings are located. The findings from this study are required to be compiled into a report and submitted to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by December 31, 2025.
The bill aims to address the issue of underutilized state properties by exploring options for their repurposing or sale, thereby potentially benefiting both the state and local municipalities. The legal language inserted into the current law emphasizes the requirement for the study and the subsequent reporting of its findings, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
