Through the issuance of these bonds, the bill is designed to support local initiatives aimed at upgrading facilities and enhancing living conditions. It highlights the state's role in assisting municipalities with infrastructure and housing improvements, particularly in areas that may require federal or state support to ensure safe and quality living environments.

Summary

SB00795, titled 'An Act Authorizing Bonds Of The State For Renovations By The Montville Housing Authority,' aims to empower the State Bond Commission to authorize the issuance of bonds. The total principal amounts for these bonds are not expected to exceed $200,000.
