What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Currently, with certain exceptions, the Department of Administration (DOA), with the approval of the Building Commission, may sell or lease state-owned real property if DOA determines that the sale or lease is in the best interest of the state.

The Building Commission may also sell or lease state-owned real property, subject to the same exceptions. Any sale may be either on the basis of public bids, with DOA or the commission reserving the right to reject any bid in the best interest of the state, or on the basis of negotiated prices as determined through a competitive or transparent process. This authority does not apply to any property for which the cost of acquisition, construction, and improvement was financed at least 50 percent with federal funds or at least 50 percent with gift or grant funds.
