Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill expands the purposes for which bonds related to the judicial branch may be issued to now include the costs associated with renovations of and additions to the judicial branch in Penobscot County. Although the overall cap of judicial branch bonds outstanding at any one time remains at $95,600,000, expanding the projects eligible to be bonded may create additional future debt service costs to the General Fund that would not have been incurred absent this bill. No estimate of future cost can be made until a specific bond project becomes known.
