(1) The general assembly shall
make a capital construction appropriation in such form, in such amounts, and from such funds as
it deems necessary and may appropriate either for construction or for planning of any project.

property.
(2.5) No capital construction appropriation may be made to or expended by any state
agency or state institution of higher education that has not received approval of a facility
management plan for a vacant facility controlled by the state agency or state institution of higher
education pursuant to section 24-30-1303.5, unless the capital development committee exempts
the state agency or state institution of higher education from the provisions of section 24-30-
1303.5 (3.5)(f).
(3) A capital construction project for a state institution of higher education that is

prior to or after receiving the cash funds or other nonstate moneys, earn the moneys appropriated
from the state capital construction fund. For any project funded in part by capital construction
