Honorable Paul Bettencourt, Chair, Senate Committee on Local Government
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB2477 by Bettencourt (relating to certain municipal regulation of conversion of certain office buildings to mixed-use and multifamily residential occupancy.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Provisions of the bill reducing restrictions on mixed-use and multi-family residential developments could have an impact on taxable property values and the related costs to the state through the operation of the school finance formula. However, the impact is unlikely to be significant.
Local Government Impact
There could be an impact on municipalities that are currently regulating mixed-used and multifamily developments in ways that would be prohibited by the bill.
