AI Summary
This bill allows neighborhood improvement districts, which are areas designated for local improvements, to finance certain infrastructure projects, specifically those related to residential development, through special assessments, which are charges levied on properties that benefit from the improvement. Previously, the use of special assessments by these districts was more restricted, but this bill expands their authority, requiring approval from all property owners within the proposed district and the local legislative body. The bill also clarifies that funds collected from these special assessments must be used solely for the approved infrastructure and can be collected in installments, potentially included in property tax rolls. Additionally, it introduces new disclosure requirements for property sellers regarding existing neighborhood improvement special assessments.
