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 down payment requirement for counties and municipalities to issue bonds permissive, rather than mandatory. Under the current law, most bond ordinances require an appropriation of at least 5% of the authorized obligation amount for final adoption of the bond ordinance. This bill removes the 5% down payment requirement, freeing up scarce resources for other purposes of the county or municipality.
