(1) Not later than September 15 of each even-numbered year, each agency shall submit to the Governor, in the form prescribed by him or her, a report of its proposed building renewal projects for the next biennium. Such report shall contain the information specified in section 81-177 and shall constitute a request for the allocation of funds from the Building Renewal Allocation Fund. Such report shall also constitute, as applicable, a request for the allocation of funds from the State Building Renewal Assessment Fund, University Building Renewal Assessment Fund, or State College Building Renewal Assessment Fund. The Governor shall, with the advice of the task force, allocate from such funds the sum necessary for the accomplishment of projects approved by him or her. Allocations from the Building Renewal Allocation Fund shall be made in a manner that assures accomplishment of Class I projects first, followed by accomplishment of Class II projects, and then accomplishment of Class III projects, unless doing so in a particular case would violate sound building renewal policies and practices. The amount of such allocation shall not be transferred to the agency but shall remain within, as applicable, the Building Renewal Allocation Fund, State Building Renewal Assessment Fund, University Building Renewal Assessment Fund, or State College Building Renewal Assessment Fund subject to the control of the Governor until disbursed consistent with the provisions of the Deferred Building Renewal Act.

(2) The University of Nebraska and the state colleges may include in their reports under subsection (1) of this section their proposed building renovation projects that have received approval of the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education, if required pursuant to section 85-1414, for the coming biennium as authorized by section 81-188.03 or 81-188.05, as applicable, which shall constitute requests for allocation of funds for such proposed projects from the University Building Renewal Assessment Fund or the State College Building Renewal Assessment Fund, as applicable. The Governor, with the advice of the task force, shall allocate from the University Building Renewal Assessment Fund or the State College Building Renewal Assessment Fund, as applicable, the sum necessary for the accomplishment of the renovation projects approved by him or her. Such allocations shall not be transferred to the University of Nebraska or the state college or colleges making the request but shall remain in the University Building Renewal Assessment Fund or the State College Building Renewal Assessment Fund, as applicable, subject to the control of the Governor until disbursed pursuant to the Deferred Building Renewal Act.
