What changed in the latest version
7 added · 4 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to HB 528 introduces a requirement that any surplus funds related to open spaces in the township must be kept in a separate fund and cannot be mixed with the general township fund. Additionally, this surplus cannot come from any taxes collected by the township. This change matters because it ensures that funds earmarked for open spaces are protected and used specifically for their intended purpose, promoting better management of community resources.
HB0528 EngrossedEnrolled LRB094 06033 AJO 36093 b AN ACT concerning the Township Code.
The surplus shall be maintained in a separate fund and not commingled with the township general fund.
