HB 1465: Local govt facilities

Concerning facilities for local governments.

Summary

  • Creates an exception to the general rule that tax levy increases authorized by the voters for the sole purpose of making redemption payments on bonds are limited to a maximum of nine years. This nine-year limitation does not apply if the bonds will be issued to pay for facilities to be used by governmental agencies for public health, safety, or justice purposes.
  • Authorizes a city/town leasing a building that has been built on leased city-owned land to pay rent that exceeds the "prevailing rate" if no comparable properties exist by which the prevailing rate can be determined. In such cases, the rent paid by the city/town must be "reasonable."
