STATE BUILDING AUTHORITY

Sec. 1100. (1) Subject to section 242 of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1242, and upon the approval of the state building authority, the department of treasury may expend from the general fund of the state during the fiscal year an amount to meet the cash flow requirements of those state building authority projects solely for lease to a state agency identified in both part 1 and this section, and for which state building authority bonds or notes have not been issued, and for the sole acquisition by the state building authority of equipment and furnishings for lease to a state agency as permitted by 1964 PA 183, MCL 830.411 to 830.425, for which the issuance of bonds or notes is authorized by a legislative appropriation act that is effective for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Any general fund advances for which state building authority bonds have not been issued shall bear an interest cost to the state building authority at a rate not to exceed that earned by the state treasurer�s common cash fund during the period in which the advances are outstanding and are repaid to the general fund of the state.

(2) Upon sale of bonds or notes for the projects identified in part 1 or for equipment as authorized by a legislative appropriation act and in this section, the state building authority shall credit the general fund of the state an amount equal to that expended from the general fund plus interest, if any, as defined in this section.

(3) For state building authority projects for which bonds or notes have been issued and upon the request of the state building authority, the state treasurer shall make advances without interest from the general fund as necessary to meet cash flow requirements for the projects, which advances shall be reimbursed by the state building authority when the investments earmarked for the financing of the projects mature.

(4) In the event that a project identified in part 1 is terminated after final design is complete, advances made on behalf of the state building authority for the costs of final design shall be repaid to the general fund in a manner recommended by the director.

Sec. 1102. (1) State building authority funding to finance construction or renovation of a facility that collects revenue in excess of money required for the operation of that facility shall not be released to a university or community college unless the institution agrees to reimburse that excess revenue to the state building authority. The excess revenue shall be credited to the general fund to offset rent obligations associated with the retirement of bonds issued for that facility. The auditor general shall annually identify and present an audit of those facilities that are subject to this section. Costs associated with the administration of the audit shall be charged against money recovered pursuant to this section.

(2) As used in this section, �revenue� includes state appropriations, facility opening money, other state aid, indirect cost reimbursement, and other revenue generated by the activities of the facility.

Sec. 1103. The state building authority shall provide to the JCOS, senate and house fiscal agencies, and state budget director a report relative to the status of construction projects associated with state building authority bonds as of September 30 of each year, on or before October 15, or not more than 30 days after a refinancing or restructuring bond issue is sold. The report shall include, but is not limited to, the following:

(a) A list of all completed construction projects for which state building authority bonds have been sold, and which bonds are currently active.

(b) A list of all projects under construction for which sale of state building authority bonds is pending.

(c) A list of all projects authorized for construction or identified in an appropriations act for which approval of schematic/preliminary plans or total authorized cost is pending that have state building authority bonds identified as a source of financing.
