AB1116,1,4 1An Act to create 16.32, 16.9652, 20.395 (1) (ba), 20.505 (1) (cs), 20.505 (1) (e) and
285.207 of the statutes; relating to: local shared services grants, regional
3affordable housing grants, grants for certain kinds of redevelopment, granting
4rule-making authority, and making an appropriation.

This bill creates two grant programs under which local governmental units may
obtain financing for costs related to planning and operating certain shared service
agreements. Under the shared services planning and operation grant program, the
Department of Administration provides grants to applicant political subdivisions to
finance the costs of planning and operating shared service agreements. These
agreements must involve at least two political subdivisions jointly providing a
service. Under the shared mass transit service grant program, the Department of
Transportation provides grants to local public bodies to finance the costs of planning
and operating shared mass transit agreements. These agreements must involve at
least two local public bodies and must expand mass transit service within or between
the political subdivisions in which the local public bodies are located. Local public
bodies under the bill include political subdivisions, agencies of political subdivisions,
and other public bodies that provide mass transit services.

The bill also creates a grant program under which DOA may award grants to
political subdivisions to do the following:

1. Fund a political subdivision's planning and operational costs in establishing
a regional affordable housing development plan and fund a political subdivision's

costs related to the construction of one or more regional affordable housing
developments.

2. Fund a political subdivision's costs related to the redevelopment of one or
more large retail stores, or one or more shopping centers or malls, that are empty.
A political subdivision receiving such a grant must match the amount of the grant
from nonstate funding sources.
