Proposed rule · 2026-22650

Purchasing and Property Management

This proposed rule revises the Legal Services Corporation's (LSC) definition of "capital improvement" by removing the threshold amount of LSC funds that must be expended on an improvement to real estate for the expenditure to qualify as a capital improvement. The proposed amendment would distinguish the definition of a capital improvement from the monetary thresholds required for prior approval; promote consistent tracking and oversight of LSC funds used for capital improvements; and strengthen accountability for LSC funds invested in recipients' real property.
