A motion to approve a Legacy Capital Fund (LCF) request to finance a proposed $50 million expansion and renovation of the Attorney General's headquarters failed for lack of a second during the Appropriations Subcommittee on Public Safety and Judiciary.

Senator Howard, who led the committee discussion on the Attorney General request, described the proposal as a plan to expand and rehabilitate current office facilities and to construct an annex. The LCF motion as stated in the transcript was to provide $2,500,000 annually for 20 years to cover a $50,000,000 total cost. "This is a big ask," Howard said, noting concerns about the state's fiscal outlook and trending revenues and saying the timing might make the project a "not yet" rather than an immediate priority.

Carolyn Assapeak, identified in the transcript as representing the Attorney General's office, told the subcommittee the office pays roughly $1,000,000 per year in private‑sector rent and that the LCF proposal assumed payback over 20 years, which informed the agency's budget request. "Our hope would be that that money could be put toward future payments back to the LCF," Assapeak said.

Committee members debated feasibility given declining revenue projections and the Board of Equalization outlook. With no second offered to the LCF motion, the proposal failed for lack of a second. The chair then moved, and the subcommittee approved by voice vote, a recommendation to the full Appropriations Committee of an operating appropriation of $71,283,457 for the Office of the Attorney General.

The transcript records that the LCF proposal was presented as a direct LCF expenditure with the intent that appropriations would be repaid over time; the subcommittee did not approve LCF funding during the session recorded in the transcript.
