What’s in it
AI summary State leaders currently have to compare the cost of renting private office space before they renovate or move state agencies into new public buildings. This change would mean they no longer have to do this comparison for buildings already located in the capitol complex or other state-owned buildings. It also gives officials the choice of whether or not to look at private rental prices instead of making it a requirement.1
Read the official explanation
Current law requires that, prior to replacing or renovating publicly owned buildings or relocating any state agencies in Des Moines within publicly owned buildings, the director of the department of administrative services issue a request for proposals for leasing privately owned office space and use such proposals to compare costs of the public and private spaces. This bill excludes existing space within capitol complex buildings and buildings owned by the state from the term “publicly owned building” for purposes of this process. The bill also makes the decision to issue or use a request for proposals discretionary. The bill does not amend the provisions under current law providing for an exemption to this process in emergency circumstances and excluding the department of public defense and the armory board from this process.
