Bill Summary
General Description: This bill amends the authority of a local building authority.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new provision to local building authority law that prevents a local building authority from constructing, acquiring, improving, extending, or financing a project on behalf of a county, city, town, or school district if that specific project, or a substantially similar project, has previously been rejected by voters of the creating local entity. The bill establishes a clear prohibition against circumventing voter decisions by repackaging or attempting to pursue a project that local voters have already voted down. The new law will take effect on May 7, 2025, and is designed to enhance voter sovereignty by ensuring that local building authorities cannot proceed with projects that have been explicitly rejected through a democratic voting process.
