More local development funds for public safety

Municipalities and plantations can use more local tax‑increment dollars for public safety. They can spend up to 25% of a development district’s captured assessed value on building, renovating, or running public safety facilities. This includes facilities used as emergency shelters. The need must tie to general economic development in the community. The limit was 15% before. The law does not add new state money.
