516     project.
517          (g) The State Building Board may provide capital improvement funding to a single
518     project, or to multiple projects within a single building or facility, even if the total cost of the

531     will require an immediate or future increase in state funding for operations and maintenance or
532     for capital improvements, the Legislature may not authorize the new building or facility until
533     the Legislature appropriates funds for:
534          (a) the portion of operations and maintenance, if any, that will require an immediate or
535     future increase in state funding; and
536          (b) the portion of capital improvements, if any, that will require an immediate or future

554          (8) It is the policy of the Legislature that a new building or facility be approved and
555     funded for construction in a single budget action, therefore the Legislature may not fund the
556     programming, design, and construction of a new building or facility in phases over more than
557     one year unless the Legislature has approved each phase of the funding for the construction of
558     the new building or facility by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to

573     emergency projects; and
574          (ii) allows the delegation of projects to some institutions and agencies with the
575     requirement that a report of expenditures will be filed annually with the Division of Facilities
576     Construction and Management and appropriate governing bodies.
577          (11) It is the intent of the Legislature that in funding capital improvement requirements
578     under this section the General Fund be considered as a funding source for at least half of those
579     costs.
580          (12) (a) Subject to Subsection (12)(b), at least 80% of the state funds appropriated for
581     capital improvements shall be used for maintenance or repair of the existing building or
582     facility.

583          (b) The State Building Board may modify the requirement described in Subsection
