A bill for an act relating to the review and sale of state buildings.
This Iowa bill requires state agencies to regularly review and evaluate their buildings to identify underutilized properties, defined as those with occupancy rates below 50% or where operating costs exceed market value. Agencies must begin disposing of identified underutilized buildings within 60 days unless they submit a written justification to the legislative council explaining mission necessity and demonstrating that retention costs are lower than leasing alternatives. The legislative council can reject retention requests by majority vote, and any net proceeds from selling these properties will be split equally between the state's general fund and a dedicated infrastructure rebuilding fund.
