What S 4771 does, verified January 8, 2026

The bill aims to standardize fees charged by municipal industrial development agencies. It requires agencies that benefit municipalities not located in a county with an existing agency to charge the same fees as the county's agency. This change ensures that municipalities in different counties do not face varying fees for similar projects. The bill takes effect 90 days after it becomes law, and it applies to projects with applications submitted on or after the effective date.
