What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with certain limitations, two or more political subdivisions may create a commission that is authorized, among other things, to 1) raise moneys by issuing municipal bonds; and 2) convey these moneys to qualifying private entities to finance certain types of capital improvement projects. A commission's bonds are known as conduit bonds — the commission acts, in effect, as a conduit between the purchaser of the bonds and the actual borrower of the moneys raised from the bonds.
In general, the borrower pays a lower interest rate for financing a project this way than it would pay for financing on the open market, because the interest that the bond purchaser earns from the conduit bonds is exempt from federal or state taxation.

This bill makes two changes related to these conduit bonding commissions. The bill specifies that the Legislative Audit Bureau must conduct an audit of each commission every two years and at the direction of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. The bill also requires the commission to pay a fee of 1 percent of the amount of any bonds it issues and to pay these fees to the Department of Revenue to fund a property tax credit that is calculated in the same manner as the school levy credit.
