Seminars, Conferences and Group Examinations Sponsored By State Agencies
Required Use of State-Owned or State-Occupied Facilities
A state agency must use state-owned or state-occupied facilities for meetings, conferences, and administration of group examinations, and may not use appropriated money to lease private facilities for these purposes unless state facilities are not:
- Available when needed.
- Adequate to accommodate the meeting, conference or examination.
- An economically favorable alternative to other facilities.
