§ 1-33-9.3. Long-term lease--Legislative authorization--Concurrent resolution content--Exclusion--Attorney general action.
Before the Bureau of Human Resources and Administration may enter a long-term lease on behalf of the state, the Legislature must authorize the proposed long-term lease. The legislative authorization must be in the form of a concurrent resolution, adopted by both chambers of the Legislature.
To be a valid legislative authorization under this section, the concurrent resolution must only contain content related to the following:
(1) The maximum initial term of the proposed long-term lease;
(2) The maximum amount of base rent for the initial term of the proposed long-term lease;
(3) A description of the project for which the proposed long-term lease is required; and
(4) The county and municipality, if any, where the project is to be located.
The Bureau of Human Resources and Administration may not, without receiving legislative authorization as required by this section, enter or otherwise authorize the lease of real property necessary for the operation of state government under any long-term lease.
A lease of real property for a proposed project at a single site may not be divided or structured as multiple leases to avoid the requirements of this section.
A lease renewal or extension or any amendment to a long-term lease after the initial lease term ends is excluded from the requirements of this section, if the renewal, extension, or amendment does not exceed fifteen years and the base rent due resulting from the renewal, extension, or amendment does not either exceed $5,000,000 in total for the rental payments due during the new term or $50,000 per month during the new term.
Any long-term lease entered in violation of this section is voidable in a legal action initiated by the attorney general.
