AN ACT \tcorrecting a reference in the housing law to municipal agreements regarding the construction of parking facilities.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

\t21:1  Municipal Agreements Regarding Parking Facilities.  Amend RSA 203:8, IX to read as follows:

\t\tIX.  To enter into agreements with municipalities for the construction of public parking facilities as provided in [RSA 252-A] RSA 231, provided, however, that any such agreement shall require that the public parking facilities shall be conveyed to the municipality or its designee upon completion of the project.  Any authority may construct such facilities in any area that the municipality shall authorize and shall not be limited to blighted, substandard or slum areas.

\t21:2  Municipal Agreements Regarding Parking Facilities.  Amend RSA 203:23, XV to read as follows:

\t\tXV.  Enter into agreements (which may extend over any period, notwithstanding any provision or rule of law to the contrary) with a housing authority for the construction of public parking facilities as provided in [RSA 252-A] RSA 231; provided, however, that any such agreement shall require that the public parking facilities shall be conveyed to the municipality or its designee upon completion of the project.  Any authority may construct such facilities in any area that the municipality shall authorize and shall not be limited to blighted, substandard or slum areas.  Any municipality may issue and sell its general obligation bonds or notes as provided by [RSA 252-A] RSA 231 to raise funds to be granted to a housing authority for the purposes of carrying out such agreements.  Municipalities may make assessments as provided by [RSA 252-A] RSA 231 and may increase motor vehicle permit fees as provided by [RSA 260:27-b] RSA 261:154 in order to pay the cost of construction of a public parking facility including payment of indebtedness incurred by the issuance of such bonds or notes.  Any such indebtedness shall be included in the net indebtedness of the municipality for the purpose of ascertaining its borrowing capacity only to the extent and under the conditions provided in [RSA 252-A] RSA 231.

\t21:3  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect upon its passage.
