State general obligation bonds in lieu of building, limited obligation bonds — "Community college capital projects" defined — Consideration for minority contractors on projects so funded.

The legislature has approved by its appropriation of funds from time to time, capital projects for the state community colleges, which appropriations have been funded primarily by the issuance of building, limited obligation bonds by the *state board for community college education (hereinafter in this chapter called the "college board"). In order that any future appropriations for such approved capital projects may be funded on terms most advantageous to the state, it is hereby determined to be in the public interest to provide for the issuance of state general obligation bonds, in lieu of building, limited obligation bonds.

     For purposes of this chapter, "community college capital projects" means the construction, reconstruction, erection, equipping, maintenance, demolition and major alteration of buildings and other capital assets owned by the *state board for community college education in the name of the state of Washington, and the acquisition of sites, rights-of-way, easements, improvements or appurtenances in relation thereto. It is the intent of the legislature that in any decision to contract for capital projects funded as the result of this chapter, full and fair consideration shall be given to minority contractors.
