Up to $8 million for new legislative technology

The Maine Governmental Facilities Authority can issue more securities. The total outstanding cannot be more than $8 million at one time.

This authority applies even with earlier debt limits in law. The law does not set interest, repayment terms, or a sunset. It does not directly change your taxes or benefits.
