This bill amends the law that authorizes municipalities to enact ordinances requiring the assessment of impact fees or construction of infrastructure improvements necessary as the result of a development project. The bill requires the municipality to establish a policy document that describes how the municipality determines that a development necessitates an infrastructure improvement and how the developer's share of the cost of that improvement is determined. The policy document must be accessible to the public at the office of the municipality or on the publicly accessible website of the municipality. The bill provides that the developer's share of the cost of infrastructure improvement must be proportionate to the development's use of the infrastructure and only for improvements on land or property that directly abuts the location of the development. The bill also requires that any fees collected for infrastructure improvements must be used by the municipality within 180 days of receipt.
