Proposal would create state‑architect office to oversee design approvals for state construction projects
Summary
Senate Bill 2064 would establish an Office of the State Architect inside DAGS to manage design review and issue approvals for traditional design‑bid‑build state construction projects; DAGS testified in support and stood on its written testimony.
Chair of the Senate Committee on Government Operations opened the Feb. 3 hearing by introducing Senate Bill 2064, which would create an Office of the State Architect within the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) to organize, manage and oversee design review and issue design approvals for traditional design‑bid‑build state construction projects. The chair described the bill as establishing a state architect, appointed by the governor, to lead the new office.
Gordon Wood, public works administrator for DAGS, said the department had submitted written testimony and was available to answer questions. "The department stands on its written testimony, and I'm here to answer any questions you may have," Wood said. No members of the public offered testimony on the measure at the hearing. The committee deferred decision‑making to the time‑certain meeting on Feb. 5, 2026.
