The resolution directs the Legislative Management to explore the possibility of utilizing dedicated funds from the capitol building fund to construct a legislative office building. Established at statehood, the capitol building fund was initially intended for financing public buildings for legislative, executive, and judicial use, with its purpose expanded by Congress in 1957 to include renovations and improvements. Despite the fund's significant balance of over $5 million, it has been used for various purposes beyond its original intent, including maintenance of the Governor's residence. The resolution highlights the inadequacies of current legislative meeting rooms, the need for improved parking facilities, and the absence of dedicated workspace for legislators, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues as the capitol approaches its 100th anniversary.

The proposed study aims to assess the feasibility of constructing a legislative office building, which could also incorporate modern committee rooms and office spaces for legislative staff. This initiative could potentially allow executive branch agencies currently leasing off-site to relocate to the capitol, thereby reducing costs and enhancing public access. The resolution calls for the Legislative Management to report its findings and any necessary legislative recommendations to the upcoming Seventieth Legislative Assembly, ensuring that future legislators are equipped to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities effectively.
