Purpose and Intent: The purpose of this bill is to clarify and expand the allowable uses of tax increment financing (TIF) for the extension of development districts. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility for municipalities to utilize TIF funds to support economic development and infrastructure projects.
Key Provisions:

- Expands the qualifying uses of TIF funds to include a wider range of economic development and infrastructure projects, such as transportation improvements, workforce housing, and broadband internet deployment
- Streamlines the process for municipalities to extend development districts and modify TIF agreements
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily affect municipalities and local economic development authorities, providing them with more options to leverage TIF financing for a variety of projects. Businesses and residents within development districts may also benefit from the expanded use of TIF funds.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been signed into law by the Governor, and the new provisions regarding the use of TIF financing for development district extensions are now in effect.
