Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Bill HB 5612 has removed the requirement to determine the market value of properties owned or leased by the state, which simplifies the reporting process. Additionally, the updated bill applies to all state properties rather than just those on the State Capitol Complex. This change matters because it can reduce administrative burdens on state agencies, allowing them to focus on managing underused properties more effectively and potentially finding better uses or partnerships without the need for extensive property valuations.
