Bill Summary
Web-based Capital Outlay Publication
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the legislative council service, a legislative support agency, create and maintain a searchable online list of capital projects on the legislative website, detailing which legislators or the governor allocated funds to each project and the specific amounts. This "capital outlay appropriation" refers to funds set aside for major construction or improvement projects, and "bond authorization" means permission to borrow money for such projects. The online listing must be user-friendly and published within three days of the governor's action on a capital outlay bill, and paper copies will be provided upon request, aiming to increase transparency in how public funds for these projects are distributed.
