  1.21  Sec. 2.  CORRECTIONS
  1.22  Subdivision 1.  To the 
  1.23  commissioner of administration, or the
  1.24  commissioner of corrections, if so
  1.25  specified, for the purposes specified
  1.26  in this section                                      116,973,000
  1.27  It is the policy of the state to 
  1.28  convert existing, surplus state

  1.30  facilities, rather than construct new 
  2.1   facilities, whenever surplus state 
  2.2   property is available and appropriate 
  2.3   for conversion.  Conversion of existing 
  2.4   facilities recycles buildings and 
  2.5   materials, and provides opportunities 
  2.6   for current and former state employees 
  2.7   to continue their careers without the 
  2.8   total disruption that relocation 
  2.9   entails.
