HOUSE BILL NO. 218
BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE CAPITOL BUILDING; STATING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; AUTHORIZING
3 AND APPROVING THE USE OF CERTAIN FUNDS ALREADY PROVIDED THROUGH AGREEMENTS
4 AND AUTHORIZATIONS FROM THE STATE BUILDING AUTHORITY; AMENDING SECTION
5 67-1602, IDAHO CODE, TO REVISE ALLOCATION OF SPACE IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING
6 BETWEEN THE LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT; AND DECLAR-
7 ING AN EMERGENCY.
8 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
9 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds that the authority to develop a Capitol
10 Master Plan rests solely with the Idaho Capitol Commission pursuant to Section
11 67-1608, Idaho Code. Further, the Capitol Master Plan approved by the Capitol
12 Commission, which includes the restoration of the Capitol Building, construc-
13 tion of single-story atrium wing additions at the east and west ends of the
14 Capitol Building of approximately 25,000 square feet each, and a
15 reconfiguration of space in the Capitol Building and which provides for the
16 allocation and control of the first floor of the Capitol Building to be by the
17 legislative department, is hereby declared to be reasonable and necessary.
18 SECTION 2. The Legislature hereby approves and authorizes the use of
19 funds for the modified Capitol Master Plan for the restoration and expansion
20 of the Capitol Building that have already been provided through agreements and
21 authorizations from the Idaho Capitol Commission, the Department of Adminis-
22 tration and the Idaho State Building Authority pursuant to House Concurrent
23 Resolution No. 47 adopted by the Second Regular Session of the Fifty-eighth
24 Idaho Legislature in 2006. Such funds are hereby authorized for the restora-
25 tion and refurbishment of the Capitol Building, the construction of single
26 story atrium wing additions to the east and west ends of the Capitol Building,
27 provisions to allow future connectivity between the Capitol Building atrium
28 wings and other adjoining state facilities in the Capitol Mall and, if there
29 are funds available after the completion of the project herein described, such
30 funds are to be applied to the debt service fund to pay principal and interest
31 on bonds, thereby reducing annual rent in that year.
32 SECTION 3. That Section 67-1602, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
33 amended to read as follows:
34 67-1602. IDAHO STATE CAPITOL -- ALLOCATION AND CONTROL OF SPACE. The
35 space within the interior of the capitol building shall be allocated and con-
36 trolled as follows:
37 (1) Public space. The interior within the rotunda, the hallways on the
38 first and second floors, the restrooms located adjacent thereto, the eleva-
39 tors, the stairways between the first, second, third and fourth floors
40 (excepting the interior stairways between the third and fourth floors within
41 the legislative chambers), shall be space within the capitol building open to
2
1 the public ("public space"). Subject to this chapter, the director of the
2 department of administration shall maintain all public space.
3 (2) Executive department. The governor shall determine the use and allo-
4 cate the space within the first and second floors. The director of the depart-
5 ment of administration shall maintain such space.
6 (3) Legislative department. The legislative department shall determine
7 the use of the space on the first, third and fourth floors as well as the
8 basement, which basement shall include the underground atrium wings. All space
9 within the first, third and fourth floors and the basement shall be allocated
10 by the presiding officers of the senate and house of representatives. The pre-
11 siding officers shall maintain such space and provide equipment and furniture
12 thereto, provided however, that the presiding officers may contract with the
13 director of the department of administration to maintain such space and pro-
14 vide equipment and furniture thereto.
15 SECTION 4. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
16 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
17 passage and approval.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17042
This legislation will provide the necessary authority to proceed
with the Capitol Building renovation and expansion project as
approved by the Idaho Capitol Commission. The Capitol Master Plan
has been modified to include the restoration of the Capitol
Building, the construction of single-story atrium wings at the
east and west ends of the Capitol Building, and a reconfiguration
of space in the Capitol Building which assigns control of the
first floor to the Legislature.
Section 2 of the bill is necessary to provide authority for use
of the funds which have already been authorized by HCR 47 in the
2006 Legislative Session. Because the scope of the project has
been modified from two-story wings to single-story wings, this
change needs to be recognized by legislation and authority given
to utilize the funds for the modified Master Plan.
This legislation will complete the vision begun in 1998 to
restore and revitalize the most preeminent public building in
this state. The new atrium wings will provide for expanded
hearing rooms, which are so badly needed for public participation
in the legislative process, and the long overdue restoration
effort will ensure that the Capitol Building, Idaho's symbol of
sovereignty, will be a source of pride for all Idahoans for years
to come.
FISCAL NOTE
$130 million has been authorized through bonds for this project
with an annual bond payment of $20.1 million. The bond payment
will be included in a separate appropriation bill. Modifying the
project to single story wings should reduce the overall cost of
the project, and is expected to result in paying off the bonds
early.
