What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Administration has the general

responsibility for leasing real property by the state. Under this bill, DOA, when

entering into or renewing a lease, must conduct a cost-benefit analysis comparing

the proposed lease to the purchase of the space or another suitable space and must

evaluate comparable lease options within a 10-mile radius to ensure that the

proposed lease rates do not exceed lease rates on comparable properties or the

market rate by more than 5 percent. In addition, under the bill, if a proposed lease

involves an annual rent of more than $500,000, it must be signed by the secretary

of administration and DOA must submit the proposed lease, as well as the

cost-benefit analysis and evaluation of comparable lease rates, to the Joint

Committee on Finance for a 14-day passive review.
