Repeal Lease Savings Transfer to Capital Construction Fund

Since July 1, 2023, a state agency that terminates a lease for private space has been required to calculate the associated amount of the annual reduction in the state agency's leased space costs (cost reduction). The general assembly has been required to annually transfer to the capital construction fund, from the fund that was the source of the funding for the lease, an amount equal to the cost reduction from the fund that was the source of the funding for the lease until the total amount transferred equals the amount that has been required to be transferred to the capitol complex renovation fund from annual depreciation-lease equivalent payments that otherwise would be credited to state agency capital reserve accounts. The act repeals the requirements that a state agency calculate its cost reduction and that the general assembly make the annual transfers to the capital construction fund.
