Bill > HB0508

This bill modifies existing Utah law concerning state facilities, primarily focusing on the processes and oversight for capital development projects within the Utah System of Higher Education and for technical colleges. Key changes include requiring the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee to hear and prioritize requests for capital facilities, establishing more detailed requirements for project proposals submitted by degree-granting institutions and technical colleges, and adjusting the cost thresholds for when the Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) directly supervises projects versus when state entities can supervise themselves. The bill also introduces new definitions for "program document" and "programming" related to project planning and clarifies the roles of the DFCM and various state entities in the capital development process, including how excess funds from certain projects are handled and how modifications to project designs are managed.
