Bill Summary

Relative to higher education capital investments in gateway municipalities or abutting municipalities. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends a previous law (Chapter 258 of the acts of 2016) to impose new criteria for funding higher education capital investment projects. Specifically, the bill states that the authorizations in the previous law can only be used to fund projects that: (a) began construction before July 1, 2021, (b) are not located in or adjacent to a "gateway municipality" (a term defined in existing state law), or (c) are located within a gateway municipality, within 2,000 feet of the city hall, and within 500 feet of public transportation upon completion. The purpose of these restrictions is to focus the capital investments on certain types of municipalities, known as "gateway cities," which are often economically disadvantaged areas.
