02:33 PM -- HB 15-1262

Senator Balmer, sponsor, described the provisions of House Bill 15-1262 concerning contractual joint governmental entity powers. The reengrossed bill specifies the legal status and powers of a separate, contractually-established entity formed by two or more governments to provide public improvements. When such an entity is formed through an intergovernmental agreement (IGA), and the IGA states an intent to be covered by the provisions of the bill, the entity: is deemed a political subdivision of the state; may issue tax-exempt revenue bonds; and may generally acquire, lease, and sell property. The IGA creating such a separate legal entity may grant the entity any power of a special district, except that no entity may levy taxes or acquire property through condemnation. The IGA must include provisions that result in the transfer or disposition of all property when the entity is dissolved.
