                                        Bill No. HB 2007, 1st Eng.

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1         (2)  The department shall require any state agency

 2  planning to terminate a lease for the purpose of occupying

 3  space in a new state-owned office building, the funds for

 4  which are appropriated after June 30, 2000, to state why the

 5  proposed relocation is in the best interest of the state.

 6         (3)  The department shall, to the extent feasible,

 7  coordinate the vacation of privately owned leased space with

 8  the expiration of the lease on that space and, when a lease is

 9  terminated before expiration of its base term, will make a

10  reasonable effort to place another state agency in the space

11  vacated. Any state agency may lease the space in any building

12  that was subject to a lease terminated by a state agency for a

13  period of time equal to the remainder of the base term without

14  the requirement of competitive bidding.

15         Section 3.  Paragraphs (d) and (e) are added to

16  subsection (3) of section 255.25, Florida Statutes, to read:

21  lease for 5,000 or more square feet of a privately owned

22  building, shall, before the effective date of the lease, agree

23  upon and separately state the cost of tenant improvements

24  which may qualify for reimbursement if the lease is terminated

25  before the expiration of its base term. The department shall

26  serve as mediator if the agency and the lessor are unable to

27  agree. The amount agreed upon and stated shall, if

28  appropriated, be amortized over the original base term of the

29  lease on a straight-line basis.

30         (e)  The unamortized portion of tenant improvements, if

31  appropriated, will be paid in equal monthly installments over

                                  2

 1  the remaining term of the lease. If any portion of the

 2  original leased premises is occupied after termination but

 3  during the original term by a tenant that does not require

 4  material changes to the premises, the repayment of the cost of

 5  tenant improvements applicable to the occupied but unchanged

 6  portion shall be abated during occupancy. The portion of the

 7  repayment to be abated shall be based on the ratio of leased

 8  space to unleased space.

 9         Section 4.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2000.
