SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 689 provides two additional members to the Capitol Buildings Planning Commission.

Significant Issues

Senate Bill 689 adds two members, the secretary of NMSHTD and the director of the Museum of New Mexico or their designees.

The Capitol Buildings Planning Commission (CBPC) was created by the 1997 Legislature to study and plan for the long-range facility needs of state government in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The statutory responsibility of the commission is to review prior long-range facility needs assessments and develop an initial master plan for state facilities. The Master Plan for state facilities was completed in 2000.

The commission is currently composed of nine members consisting of four members of the legislature, the secretary of the General Services Department (GSD), the PCD staff architect, the secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration, the Commissioner of Public Lands and the chairman of the Supreme Court Building Commission or their respective designees. The Speaker of the House and secretary of GSD co-chair the commission.

OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES

NMSHTD is one of the largest state government agencies in terms of employees and buildings occupied in Santa Fe. Membership on the CBPC as provided in Senate Bill 689 would allow the department to participate and address the planning and space needs of the department and state government as a whole.
