The act authorizes the bank to, among other things, issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing projects, as defined, that relate to infrastructure improvements or to authorize a special purpose trust to issue bonds for the purpose of making loans to a sponsor to be used by a sponsor to pay for the cost of a project. That act allows the bank to give final approval for those actions upon terms it deems necessary or desirable. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that latter provision. Vote: majority.
