This bill creates the Public Works Commission, a 12-member body consisting of state legislators and public members with expertise in architecture or engineering. The Commission is tasked with reviewing proposals for capital outlay funding of projects such as the acquisition, construction, or renovation of public buildings and infrastructure. The Commission must evaluate proposals using a set of criteria, including the impact on public health and safety, financial benefits, and overall project goals. The Commission is also required to submit an annual report to the legislature with findings and recommendations for prioritizing capital projects.
