Introduced

To require approval by the full legislature, and not just a smaller legislative joint outlay committee, for rental agreements in which the state agrees to pay a “base” of more than $1 million for the use of a particular facility. The bill comes after intense criticism of an annual $3.7 million lease of a new State Police headquarters in downtown Lansing (the “Triangle Project” owned by developer and prominent Democratic Party activist Joel Ferguson). See also House Bill 5378 and Senate Bill 863.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
