Passed in the Senate 32 to 4 (details)
To give state and local government agencies the power to enter into joint operating arrangements with a particular business for purposes of building a hospital or transportation facilities. The private operator would benefit from tax exemptions and its governmental partner's power to impose property taxes, borrow, take private property using eminent domain and more. The government agency involved could choose the private sector actor without necessarily having to accept the lowest bid. The projects could be proposals from a private developer.
Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
