| (a) Public access. Public access to state buildings
is generally unlimited. However, nothing in this chapter shall be
understood as permitting the use of any public building, in any manner
whatsoever, when such use is for a commercial purpose.
(b) Admission to state buildings. The public portions
of state buildings are generally open to the public at all times,
with the general exception of Saturdays, Sundays, state holidays,
and from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. on working days. Access to state buildings
during the times they are not open to the public shall be by building
pass card, electronic security access card, special permission, or
emergency admission.
(1) Building pass cards and electronic security access
cards. The chief executive of each agency, in the state building referenced
in this subsection, shall be responsible for the control of building
pass cards and electronic security access cards issued for their agency.
The chief executive may delegate this responsibility to another person(s)
in the agency, provided that the Capitol Regional Command Office is
notified in writing of the name(s) with a sample of designees' signatures.
Agency designees may not appoint other agency designees.
(2) Card application. Applications for such cards must
be signed by the agency designee and completed by the employee. The
employee will submit the application in person; or the agency designee
may submit electronically through the designees approved and authorized
state email address to the Capitol Regional Command Office for issuance.
No card will be issued unless the application is complete and signed
by the agency designee or submitted through the approved state email
address on file for the designee. An employee may have both a building
pass card and an electronic security access card. When this occurs,
separate applications will be required. The electronic security access
card is not a building pass card and will not be accepted in any other
location other than the location for which it was issued.
(3) Agency designee. It is the responsibility of the
agency designee to notify the Capitol Regional Command Office immediately
of any termination of the employee. The agency designee shall return
the employee's cards to the Capitol Regional Command Office.
(4) Special permission. Special permission is communicated
by an appropriate public official or his representative to the Capitol
Regional Command Office specifically approving one-time admission
to a named individual. Such authorization should be in writing.
(5) Emergency admission. Emergency admission is solely
within the discretion of the officer on duty, and such officer must
accompany the admitted individual at all times while he or she is
in the building.
(6) Recovery of costs for access cards. The department
may recover the cost of materials and services rendered for the issuance
of a new or replacement electronic security access card.
(c) Building register (admission log). A building register
for each building shall be kept for the times it is closed to the
public, and each person entering the building, except those entering
with an electronic security access card, must complete the information
called for in the register.
