By allowing these bonds, infrastructure projects like schools or roads can be funded more affordably, potentially leading to better public services for citizens and more efficient use of taxpayer money.
Key points
Enables local governments and public entities to refinance existing debts on more favorable terms, potentially lowering the cost of public projects.
Restores a financial tool that can lead to savings in local budgets, potentially freeing up funds for other community needs.
Establishes rules for which bonds can be refinanced and how, to prevent misuse.
