Bill Summary
This bill makes permissive the down payment requirement for counties and municipalities to issue bonds. Under current law, most bond ordinances require an appropriation of at least five percent of the amount of the authorized obligation for final adoption of the bond ordinance. Although this appropriation is excluded from the property tax levy cap, relief from the requirement to make the down payment is intended to free-up scarce resources for other purposes of the county or municipality.
AI Summary
This bill makes the 5% down payment requirement for counties and municipalities to issue bonds optional. Under current law, most bond ordinances require an appropriation of at least 5% of the authorized obligation, but this bill removes that mandatory requirement, allowing the down payment to be a percentage set by the county or municipality. This change is intended to free up scarce resources for other purposes of the county or municipality.
