This bill amends existing laws regarding capital appropriations for the community college system of New Hampshire and the allocation of office space for legislative members. 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 to include references to additional sections of the law, ensuring that the appropriations cover all costs related to project completion, including hiring architects and consultants.
Additionally, the bill modifies the designation of office space for legislative leaders by changing the reference from the "second" floor to the "fourth" floor of the state house annex. It also includes provisions for shared access to a break room and lactation room adjacent to the west wing. Furthermore, the bill repeals a previous requirement that certain contracts and projects related to capital appropriations for the community college system be awarded in accordance with RSA 21-I. The act will take effect upon its passage.
