2008 SESSION
082954212Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 2.2-1503.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 2.2-1503.2. Filing of six-year capital improvement plan by Governor.
A. For purposes of this section:
"Capital outlay project" means acquisition of real property (including buildings or plant) or machinery or equipment, new construction, and improvements related to state-owned real property, buildings, plant, machinery or equipment (including plans therefor). It shall include any improvements to real property leased for use by a state agency, and not owned by the Commonwealth, when such improvements are financed by public funds and become state property upon the expiration of the lease. Capital outlay projects do not include projects that have been included in the Commonwealth Transportation Board's Six-Year Improvement Program.
B. On or before November 1 of the year immediately prior to the beginning of each regular session of the General Assembly held in an even-numbered year, the Governor shall submit to the members of the General Assembly a six-year capital improvement plan. The plan shall include all capital outlay projects that the Governor deems necessary for the six fiscal years immediately following the current fiscal year. The Governor shall include such plan in the “Budget Bill” submitted pursuant to subsection A of § 2.2-1509, and the Governor shall amend such plan as appropriate or warranted in his gubernatorial amendments proposed to the general appropriation act pursuant to subsection E of such section. The plan shall:
1. Identify each capital outlay project;
2. Describe the scope and nature of the project;
3. Provide an estimate of the total cost of each project upon payment in full;
4. Detail, by fiscal year, the source or sources of funds recommended for each capital outlay project;
5. Explain the specific criteria or justification that was used in determining the fiscal year in which funds were allocated to projects; and
6. Include any other information as may be requested by the General Assembly.
Any capital outlay project that requires additional funds in excess of the latest estimate submitted to the General Assembly, shall be included in the six-year plan with an updated estimate of the total cost as provided herein.
C. The capital improvement plan shall include a list of capital outlay projects that would be funded in whole or in part from general funds for each of the succeeding fiscal years in an amount equal to at least two percent of the anticipated general fund revenues for the respective fiscal year, as such revenues are estimated pursuant to § 2.2-1503. The amount of general funds included in the capital improvement plan shall be in addition to any allocation to capital outlay projects from the Central Maintenance Reserve of the general appropriation act.
2. § 1. That pursuant to § 23-30.28 of the Code of Virginia, the General Assembly hereby authorizes the Virginia College Building Authority to undertake the following projects including, without limitation, constructing, improving, furnishing, maintaining, acquiring, and renovating buildings, facilities, improvements, and land therefor; to exercise any and all powers granted to it by law in connection therewith, including the power to lease such projects to educational facilities of the Commonwealth; and to finance all or any portion of the cost thereof by the issuance of revenue bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $1,353,729,000 plus amounts needed to fund issuance costs, reserve funds, original issue discount, interest prior to and during acquisition, construction, or renovation and for one year after completion thereof, and other financing expenses.
The Authority may pay all or any part of the cost of any project hereinafter listed or authorized or any portion thereof with any income and reserve funds of the Authority available for such purpose, and in such case may transfer such funds of the Authority, with the approval of the Governor.
