COMMITTEE ACTION:
HF 2258 allows the flood mitigation fund to reimburse costs of approved projects incurred after a project’s approval. It gives the local government flexibility to use these funds to reimburse other city funds to pay for projects. Currently, governmental entities can seek approval for flood protection projects and the use of certain sales tax increments from the fund.
