What’s in it
AI summary County leaders would be allowed to borrow money to pay for courthouse improvements and upgrades without needing a vote from the public. Currently, voters must approve most types of county debt, but this change would make courthouse projects an exception.1
Read the official explanation
This bill adds courthouse improvements and upgrades to the definition of “essential county purpose”. Under Code chapter 331, a county board of supervisors may generally contract indebtedness and approve the issuance of general obligation bonds to carry out an essential county purpose without approval by voters at an election, while the issuance of general obligation bonds to carry out a general county purpose generally requires approval by voters at an election.
