Leasing Programs

Master Equipment Leasing Program

The Treasury Board is responsible for the operation and administration of the Master Equipment Lease Program for the lease financing of personal property by State agencies and institutions. Personal property is defined as new or reconditioned tangible personal property and includes personal property to be affixed to realty. The program is also used to finance energy efficiency projects. Under the Program, the Treasury Board procures a line of credit from financing companies under the terms of a Master Lease Agreement under which individual agencies and institutions can finance equipment over 3, 5, 7 and 10-year terms. Agencies are responsible for lease payments to the finance company from their biennial appropriations. The consolidation of lease purchasing under this Program results in a lower interest costs for agencies than would otherwise be possible if agencies individually entered into leasing arrangements. Section 2.2-2417 of the Code provides the statutory authority for this Program.
