The bill, titled "An Act Concerning a Study of Repurposing or Selling Underutilized State-Owned Buildings," mandates the Commissioner of Administrative Services to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility, benefits, and disadvantages of repurposing or selling state-owned buildings that are currently underutilized. The study will also assess any potential impacts on the municipalities where these buildings are located. The findings of 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.
This legislation introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for the study and report, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section and Committee Bill No. 134. There are no deletions from current law specified in the bill. The intent of the bill is to explore options for better utilization of state resources and to inform legislative decisions regarding state property management.
