Bill > SB1746

This bill modifies the management of state properties, specifically focusing on rental rates for state-owned and state-leased buildings. The bill updates section 41-792.01 of Arizona Revised Statutes to adjust how state departments and agencies pay rental fees for spaces they occupy. For the fiscal year 2025-2026, the bill establishes specific rental rates of $17.87 per square foot for office space and $6.43 per square foot for storage space in the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund. The legislation maintains existing provisions that require state agencies to pay rental fees, with some flexibility for the Department of Administration to grant exemptions in cases of financial hardship or changes in occupancy. The bill also preserves the requirement for the Department of Administration to report rental fee exemptions annually to the joint legislative budget committee. Additionally, the bill includes a provision transferring certain state sovereign lands in Mohave County to the city of Bullhead City, stipulating that these lands must be used for park and public recreation purposes and cannot be sold or exchanged.
