The bill S. 213, introduced by Senator Turner, seeks to amend Act 919 of 1928, specifically regarding the powers and duties of the Greenville Airport Commission. The primary change proposed is to increase the authorized total indebtedness of the commission from its current limit to twenty million dollars. This adjustment allows the commission to borrow money and issue negotiable bonds, notes, and other forms of indebtedness, which will be payable solely from the revenue generated by the airport's operations.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that the commission may use borrowed funds for operational costs, maintenance, and improvements to the airport facility. It emphasizes that the financial obligations incurred will not involve the faith and credit of the State or the City or County of Greenville, ensuring that neither the commission members nor those signing the obligations will be personally liable. The act will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
