Bill > SB207

This bill creates the Public Works Commission, a 12-member body composed of state legislators and public members with expertise in architecture or engineering. The Commission is tasked with reviewing proposals for capital outlay-funded projects, which includes the acquisition, construction, or renovation of public buildings, infrastructure, and equipment. The Commission must meet at least six times per year, hold hearings, request information from project sponsors, and evaluate proposals based on criteria such as public health and safety, job creation, availability of other funding sources, and operational sustainability. The Commission is required to submit annual reports with findings and recommendations to the legislature.
