What changed in the latest version
108 added · 65 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of Bill SB 3425 made significant changes to the process surrounding municipal bond issuance. It now mandates that any proposed bonds must be approved through a referendum, which requires notifying voters about the bond details at least 10 days before the election. This ensures that residents are better informed and have a say in whether their municipality can take on debt, enhancing transparency and accountability in local government finances.
