Fiscal Highlights - July 2014
FY 2015 Capital Development Projects -
Mark Bleazard ( PDF)The 2014 Legislature appropriated state funds totaling $165.4 million for FY 2105 capital development projects in the state. In addition, authorization for $145.1 million was given for FY 2105 non-state funded capital development projects as listed in the figure below. During the 2014 General Session, the Legislature enacted S.B. 172, "Capital Improvement and Capital Development Project Amendments," that amends UCA 63A-5-104 to add the following new text: "It is the policy of the Legislature that a new building or facility be approved and funded for construction in a single budget action, therefore the Legislature may not fund the programming, design, and construction of a new building or facility in phases over more than one year unless the Legislature has approved each phase of the funding for the construction of the new building or facility by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house." These amendments to the code could eliminate the dilemma of future occupants of those phase funded facilities likely anticipating those projects will get preference in the appropriations process during the next general session.
