EFFECT:  Clarifies that capital budget outlines for the two-year and four-year institutions are to be submitted to the Office of Financial Management (OFM). Removes the requirement for the Council to review and evaluate operating and capital budget requests from the four-year institutions and community and technical college system. Requires OFM, instead of the Council, to develop a prioritized list of capital projects for the legislature to consider.
