. The Legislature declares that a centralization of business
management functions and services of state government is necessary to
take advantage of specialized techniques and skills, provide uniform
management practices, and to insure a continuing high level of
efficiency and economy. A Department of General Services is created
to provide centralized services including, but not limited to,
planning, acquisition, construction, and maintenance of state
buildings and property; purchasing; printing; architectural services;
administrative hearings; and accounting services. The Department of
General Services shall develop and enforce policy and procedures and
shall institute or cause the institution of those investigations and
proceedings as it deems proper to assure effective operation of all
functions performed by the department and to conserve the rights and
interests of the state.
