The "Private Activity Bond Allocation Act of 2025" establishes a new formula for distributing the statewide volume ceiling for certain tax-exempt private activity bonds. These bonds are used by state and local agencies, as well as other entities, for purposes such as housing, economic development, and job creation. The act divides the statewide ceiling into three main portions: a local agency set-aside based on population, a state agency set-aside, and a statewide bond reserve. This structure aims to provide an orderly and efficient process for allocating these bonds, which require an allocation to maintain their federal tax-exempt status.
