HOUSE BILL NO. 763 Offered January 25, 1994 A BILL to amend and reenact § 2.1-504.2 of the Code of Virginia, relating to state acquisition of real property. ---------- Patron--Newman ---------- Referred to Committee on General Laws ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 2.1-504.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 2.1-504.2. Department to review proposed acquisitions of real property; approval by the Governor; exceptions.

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no state department, agency or institution shall acquire real property by gift, lease, purchase or any other means whatsoever, without the approval of the Governor. Real property may be acquired for open space preservation pursuant to the purposes of §§ 10.1-1800 and 10.1-2204 (4) if it does not require as a condition of acceptance an appropriation of any state funds for the continued maintenance of such property. The Department of General Services shall review every proposed acquisition of real property by gift, lease, purchase or any other means whatsoever by any department, agency or institution of this Commonwealth. The Department of General Services, in reviewing such proposed acquisitions, shall ensure that the cost of acquisition accounts for at least fifty percent of the formula upon which a request for proposals will be based. Upon the completion of its review, the Department shall recommend either approval or disapproval of such transactions to the Governor. Such review and approval shall not be required for acquisition of real property for open space preservations as provided for in this section, or for the acquisition through lease or donation of real property on a temporary basis for periods less than six months, or for the construction, improvement or maintenance of highways and transportation facilities and purposes incidental thereto by the Department of Transportation; however, acquisitions of real property for office space, district offices, residencies, area headquarters, and correctional facilities shall be subject to such review and approval.
