Maddy summaryHB 669 prohibits local governments (such as cities or counties) from requiring a minimum credit rating for certain municipal bonds they issue. This bill directly affects local governments that finance public projects through bond sales. The key provision removes a requirement that had forced these entities to seek bonds rated above a specific level before selling them to investors. The change simplifies bond issuance for local governments by eliminating this specific rating hurdle. (3 sentences)
