What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a technical college district board intends to make a capital expenditure in excess of $1,500,000 for the purchase or construction of buildings or for the lease/purchase of buildings (if costs exceed $1,500,000 for the lifetime of the lease), it must adopt a resolution stating its intention and submit the resolution to the electors of the district for approval.
This bill provides that in determining whether this referendum requirement applies to a capital expenditure partially funded with student housing payments for the purchase or construction, or the lease/purchase, of a student residence facility, that portion of the capital expenditure consisting of student housing payments is subtracted.
