The bill provides that the notification shall include the information as required by the bill for the department of administrative services.321, concerning managing the physical resources of government, is amended to require the director of the department of administrative services to notify and provide to the legislative services agency for submission to the general assembly’s standing committees on government oversight information regarding entering into a contract for a lease or renewal of a lease for certain buildings and office space or a contract for the acquisition of real property in which any part or the total amount of the contract is at least $50,000.
