EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Under current law, the department of administrative services (DAS) is appropriated moneys from the routine maintenance fund (funded by the rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund) for purposes of routine maintenance projects for state buildings and facilities, excluding buildings and facilities under the control of the state board of regents, department of transportation, department of natural resources, and department of public defense. Under current practice, DAS submits to the joint appropriations subcommittee on transportation, infrastructure, and capitals a list of future major maintenance projects for those state buildings and facilities that will require appropriations by the general assembly. This bill codifies that requirement in the form of a biannual report from DAS to the general assembly.
   In addition, the bill requires a similar report to the general assembly from the department of management (DOM) for state information technology infrastructure of DOM or supported entities, and from the state board of regents for state buildings, facilities, and information technology infrastructure of the board and its institutions.
