Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Shared costs and 60-day decisions for developers

Local governments can require developers to build or pay for offsite public infrastructure that serves a project. Costs must be shared based on how much the project uses or impacts the system. The government must decide within 60 days of the approval request whether offsite upgrades are needed. Offsite public infrastructure includes roads, turn lanes, signals, sidewalks, lights, stormwater work, and utilities like water, sewer, electric, gas, and broadband. These improvements are outside the project boundary and are dedicated to public entities.

Local funding options for offsite infrastructure

Local governments can pay their share of offsite upgrades with impact fees from other projects. They can also use bond proceeds or unencumbered tax revenues. This choice can shift costs to other developers, bond debt, or taxpayers.
