Bill > HB1999

This bill, known as the "No Corporate Land Giveaways Act," aims to prevent the state from transferring ownership, exclusive leases, or exclusive control of its real property to private entities for private projects or development without receiving something of value in return. Specifically, it requires the Commissioner of General Services and the Chair of the State Capitol Commission to give at least 30 days' written notice to legislative leaders and local representatives before such a transfer occurs. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the joint government operations committee of the senate and house of representatives must approve the transfer within that 30-day notice period; if the committee takes no action, the transfer is automatically considered disapproved, thus ensuring legislative oversight on these transactions.
