What This Bill Does
The bill amends the law to include facilities owned or acquired by a county's municipalities as eligible public facilities for warrant financing. It expands the definition of public facilities to cover capital improvements within the county that are owned or acquired by a municipality, with the use of warrant proceeds governed by an intergovernmental agreement between the county and the municipality. It remains applicable to the broad range of costs associated with acquiring, constructing, and financing such facilities. The act takes effect immediately upon signing into law.
