state building authority projects solely for lease to a state

 

agency identified in both part 1 and this section, and for which

 

state building authority bonds or notes have not been issued, and

 

for the sole acquisition by the state building authority of

 

equipment and furnishings for lease to a state agency as permitted

 

by 1964 PA 183, MCL 830.411 to 830.425, for which the issuance of

 

bonds or notes is authorized by a legislative concurrent resolution

 

that is effective for a fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. Any

 

general fund advances for which state building authority bonds have

 

not been issued shall bear an interest cost to the state building

 

authority at a rate not to exceed that earned by the state

 

treasurer's common cash fund during the period in which the

 

advances are outstanding and are repaid to the general fund of the

 

state.

 

     (2) Upon sale of bonds or notes for the projects identified in

 

part 1 or for equipment as authorized by legislative concurrent

 

resolution and in this section, the state building authority shall

 

credit the general fund of this state an amount equal to that

 

expended from the general fund plus interest, if any, as defined in

 

this section.

 

     (3) For state building authority projects for which bonds or

 

notes have been issued and upon the request of the state building

 

authority, the state treasurer shall make advances without interest

 

from the general fund as necessary to meet cash flow requirements


 

for the projects, which advances shall be reimbursed by the state

 

building authority when the investments earmarked for the financing

 

of the projects mature.

 

     (4) In the event that a project identified in part 1 is

 

terminated after final design is complete, advances made on behalf

 

of the state building authority for the costs of final design shall

 

be repaid to the general fund in a manner recommended by the

 

director and approved by JCOS.

 

     Sec. 302. (1) State building authority funding to finance

 

construction or renovation of a facility that collects revenue in

 

excess of money required for the operation of that facility shall

 

not be released to a university or community college unless the

 

institution agrees to reimburse that excess revenue to the state

 

building authority. The excess revenue shall be credited to the

 

general fund to offset rent obligations associated with the

 

retirement of bonds issued for that facility. The auditor general

 

shall annually identify and present an audit of those facilities

 

that are subject to this section. Costs associated with the

 

administration of the audit shall be charged against money

 

recovered pursuant to this section.

     (2) If the amount appropriated in part 1 for state building

 

authority rent is not sufficient to pay the rent obligations and

 

insurance premiums and deductibles identified in subsection (1) for

 

state building authority projects, there is appropriated from the

 

general fund of this state the amount necessary to pay such

 

obligations.

 

     Sec. 304. The department shall provide JCOS and the fiscal

 

agencies a report, not more than 15 days after the reporting date,

 

relative to the status of construction projects associated with

 

state building authority bonds on March 31 and September 30 of each

 

year, or not more than 30 days after a refinancing or restructuring

 

bond issue is sold. The report shall include, but is not limited

 

to, the following:

 

     (a) A list of all completed construction projects for which

 

state building authority bonds have been sold, and which bonds are

 

currently active.

 

     (b) A list of all projects under construction for which sale

 

of state building authority bonds are pending.

includes the following provisions:

the project within the total authorized cost established by the

 

legislature pursuant to the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431,

 

MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594, and an appropriations act.

 

     (b) The design and program scope of the project shall not

 

deviate from the design and program scope represented in the

 

program statement and preliminary planning documents approved by

 

the department.

 

     (c) Any other items as identified by the department that are

 

necessary to complete the project.

 

     (2) The department retains the authority and responsibility

 

normally associated with the prudent maintenance of the public's

 

financial and policy interests relative to the state-financed

 

construction projects managed by a community college or university.


 

     Sec. 406. A state agency, college, or university shall take

 

steps necessary to make available federal and other money indicated

 

in this act, to make available federal or other money that may

 

become available for the purposes for which appropriations are made

 

in this act, and to use any part or all of the appropriations to

 

meet matching requirements that are considered to be in the best

 

interest of this state. However, the purpose, scope, and total

 

estimated cost of a project shall not be altered to meet the

 

matching requirements.

 

 

 

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

 

     Sec. 801. (1) This section applies only to projects for

 

community colleges.

 

     (2) State support is directed towards the remodeling and

 

additions, special maintenance, or construction of certain

 

community college buildings. The community college shall obtain or

 

provide for site acquisition and initial main utility installation

 

to operate the facility. Funding shall be comprised of local and

 

state shares, and the state share shall include 50% of any federal

 

money awarded for projects appropriated in this act. Not more than

 

50% of a capital outlay project, not including a lump-sum special

 

maintenance project or remodeling and addition project, for a

 

community college shall be appropriated from state and federal

 

funds, unless otherwise appropriated by the legislature.

 

     (3) An expenditure under this act is authorized when the

 

release of the appropriation is approved by the board upon the

 

recommendation of the director. The director may recommend to the


 

board the release of any appropriation in part 1 only after the

 

director is assured that the legal entity operating the community

 

college to which the appropriation is made has complied with this

 

act and has matched the amounts appropriated as required by this

 

act. A release of funds in part 1 shall not exceed 50% of the total

 

cost of planning and construction of any project, not including

 

lump-sum remodeling and additions and special maintenance, unless

 

otherwise appropriated by the legislature. Further planning and

 

construction of a project authorized by this act or applicable

 

sections of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1101

 

to 18.1594, shall be in accordance with the purpose and scope as

 

defined and delineated in the approved program statements and

 

planning documents. This act is applicable to all projects for

 

which planning appropriations were made in previous acts.

 

     (4) The community college shall take the steps necessary to

 

secure available federal construction and equipment money for

 

projects funded for construction in this act if an application was

 

not previously made. If there is a reasonable expectation that a

 

prior year unfunded application may receive federal money in a

 

subsequent year, the college shall take whatever action necessary

 

to keep the application active. If federal money is received, the

 

state share shall be adjusted accordingly as provided by this act.

 

     Sec. 802. If matching revenues are received in an amount less

 

than the appropriations contained in this act, the state funds of

 

the appropriation shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of

 

matching revenue received.

 

     Sec. 804. (1) The director may require that community colleges


 

and universities that have an authorized project listed in part 1

 

submit documentation regarding the project match and governing

 

board approval of the authorized project not more than 60 days

 

after the beginning of the fiscal year.

 

     (2) If the documentation required by the director under

 

subsection (1) is not submitted, or does not adequately

 

authenticate the availability of the project match or board

 

approval of the authorized project, the authorization may

 

terminate. The authorization terminates 30 days after the director

 

notifies the JCOS of the intent to terminate the project unless the

 

JCOS convenes to extend the authorization.
