This bill amends existing laws related to capital appropriations for the Community College System of New Hampshire and makes changes regarding legislative office space. Specifically, it removes the requirement for procurement through the Department of Administrative Services for certain capital appropriations, allowing the trustees of the community college system to directly manage the appropriations. The bill also updates the language in the law to include references to additional sections of appropriations and clarifies that funds can be used for various incidental costs related to project completion, including hiring architects and engineers.

Additionally, the bill changes the designation of spaces assigned for legislative use, specifically updating the reference from the "second" floor to the "fourth" floor of the state house annex. It also renames a capital project from "Respiratory Therapy Program" to "Allied Health Instructional Center Teaching Equipment and Teaching Space Renovations." Furthermore, it repeals a previous requirement that certain contracts and projects concerning capital appropriations for the community college system be awarded in accordance with RSA 21-I. The act is set to take effect upon its passage.
