Maddy summarySB 1674, titled "Unrated Bonds," prohibits local governments from requiring a minimum bond rating for certain types of investments. This means local government entities would no longer be able to mandate that an investment hold a specific rating (e.g., AAA, BB) before they can invest in it. The bill directly affects local governments by removing a current restriction on their investment policies for these particular investments.
