There is hereby created a fund to be known as the "Capitol Complex Fund", separate and distinct from all other board funds, which is hereby authorized to receive any eligible monetary donation as provided in this section.

The assets of these accounts, together with any interest which may accrue thereon, shall be used by the board solely for the purposes of restoration and maintenance of the building of the capitol complex as defined in this section, and for no other purpose. The remaining two and one-half percent of the revenues deposited into the fund may be used for the purposes of soliciting donations to the fund, advertising and promoting the fund, and administrative costs of administering the fund. Any amounts not used for those purposes shall be deposited back into the rehabilitation and renovation account and the maintenance account divided in the manner set forth in this section. The board may, as an administrative cost, use the funds to hire fund-raising professionals and such other experts or advisors as may be necessary to carry out the board's duties under this section. The choice of projects for which the money is to be used, as well as the determination of the methods of carrying out the project and the procurement of goods and services thereon shall be made by the commissioner of administration. No moneys shall be released from the fund for any expense without the approval of the commissioner of administration, who may delegate that authority as deemed appropriate. All contracts for rehabilitation, renovation, or maintenance work shall be the responsibility of the commissioner of administration. A memorandum of understanding may be executed between the commissioner of administration and the board determining the processes for obligation, reservation, and payment of eligible costs from the fund. The commission of administration shall not obligate costs in excess of the fund balance. The board shall not be responsible for any costs obligated in excess of available funds and shall be held harmless in any contracts related to rehabilitation, renovation, and maintenance of capitol complex buildings. No other board funds shall be used to pay obligations made by the commissioner of administration related to activities under this section.

Upon receiving a statement from the board of public buildings, the department shall issue a tax credit certificate equal to thirty percent of the amount of the donation, to the qualified donor as indicated in the statement from the board of public buildings.

This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2021, shall be invalid and void.
