Bill Summary
An Act to Authorize the Use of Funds Resulting from the Issuance of Securities by the Maine Governmental Facilities Authority for the Purpose of Developing or Improving New or Existing Court Facilities in Penobscot County
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Maine Governmental Facilities Authority (MGFA) to issue additional securities to fund court facility improvements and development, specifically expanding the existing authorization to include Penobscot County. The legislation amends a previous law that allowed the MGFA to issue up to $95,600,000 in securities for judicial branch facilities in several counties, now adding Penobscot County to the list of eligible counties. The funds can be used for a variety of purposes related to court facilities, including planning, purchasing, financing, acquiring, constructing, renovating, furnishing, equipping, improving, extending, enlarging, and consolidating both new and existing judicial facilities. This bill provides the MGFA with more flexibility to address court facility needs in Penobscot County, potentially allowing for improvements, renovations, or expansions of court infrastructure in that region.
