The bill clarifies that the Division of Facilities Management, Design, and Construction within the Office of Administration will supervise the design, construction, and management of state facilities and authorizes prequalification or debarment of contractors and design-build contracts in certain circumstances. The par-value limit of revenue bonds for state projects is increased to $775 million.
