The intent of the legislature in enacting this Chapter is to provide a cost effective means of acquiring essential equipment for the operation of state government. Commercial leases or renting agreements as well as lump sum purchases of equipment have created a burden on the finances of the state, and it has been determined that, pursuant to this Chapter, essential equipment may be obtained using an equipment-lease-purchase contract in conjunction with tax-exempt financing and earnings on investments by nonprofit lessors resulting in lower net equipment costs to the state.
