(1) The state department, in consultation with the Colorado board of veterans affairs, is responsible for recommending any proposed sites for veterans centers to be constructed, leased, or purchased on or after July 1, 1998, to the capital development committee and the joint budget committee. The general assembly is responsible for the selection of any proposed site for such veterans centers.

(a) The proximity of the proposed veterans center to veterans affairs medical services;
(b) The impact the proposed veterans center would have upon the financial viability of existing veterans centers; and
(c) Whether there is an established bed need for the proposed veterans center based upon the location of Colorado veterans, their families, and support systems.
(3) A veterans center constructed, leased, or purchased on or after July 1, 1998, must have a bed capacity of at least one hundred twenty beds.
(4) A veterans center must not be constructed on or after July 1, 1998, unless other veterans centers have maintained an average occupancy rate of at least eighty percent over the six-month period immediately prior to the commencement of the construction of the new veterans center.
