Today, the bill's sponsor, Representative Josh Bray, told the House Local Government Committee.
What the bill does and why it's needed.
We want to make sure that counties aren't going out and taking on additional debt based on what the environment is like today.
Without knowing what the environment could be like within two years.
So that's the purpose of the bill.
It puts a two year moratorium on new facility construction.
If that government has to take out debt on it.
There are exceptions.
A local government could pay for a construction project if a court ordered it to do so.
The committee passed House Bill 507 so it now goes on to the full House.
