MODERATE

The bill was amended from an introduced version to a Senate Committee Substitute version, adding significant details about how the sports complex authority is formed, who serves on it, and how funding works. The key substantive change is the addition of specific requirements for state funding, which now requires counties to match state contributions dollar-for-dollar and establish a fund before receiving any money.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same regarding the creation of sports complex authorities, but the funding eligibility criteria were significantly expanded with new matching requirements and a specific date threshold for professional sports team contracts.

REQUIREMENT

Added detailed provisions for how authority commissioners are appointed, specifying a nine-name panel submitted to the governor with senate advice and consent, and requiring that no elected or appointed officials from political subdivisions serve on the authority.

Added requirements for counties to enact ordinances or rules for purchasing goods, services, and constructing capital improvements, and to provide annual reports to the general assembly.

FISCAL

Added a requirement that counties must match state funding dollar-for-dollar, meaning the county must contribute three million dollars per year for the state to provide up to three million dollars annually.

TIMELINE

Added a specific date requirement that counties must have a contract or lease with a professional sports team affiliated with major leagues on or after January 1, 2026, to be eligible for state funding.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill number from 2793S.01I to 2793S.02C and updated the header to reflect it is a Senate Committee Substitute for bills 710 and 713.
