CT HB06577

State Properties Review Board moves from the Department of Administrative Services to the Legislative Department while maintaining independent decision-making authority, effective October 1, 2021

Board's review authority expands to include real property transactions by quasi-public agencies (leases, subleases, licensing, contracts) and bond-funded real estate acquisitions by any state agency

Consultant services contracts requiring Board approval threshold lowered from $100,000 to $25,000 for most state projects

All real estate actions by specified entities (Joint Committee on Legislative Management, Chief Court Administrator, higher education trustees, Labor Commissioner, Commissioners of Developmental Services and Mental Health, Connecticut Marketing Authority) now explicitly subject to Board review and approval

Governor no longer appoints the chairperson and executive director of the State Properties Review Board, and Board member terms are no longer coterminous with the Governor's term
