There is established a pilot program to evaluate the efficiency and functionality of allowing county utilities authorities in certain counties, through the use of their undesignated fund balance or unreserved retained earnings, to fund improvements to county infrastructure in municipalities that are located in those counties and that are served by those county utilities authorities, as another method to repair or replace aging county infrastructure through a means other than the local property tax.
b. Under this pilot program created herein, the participating county utilities authorities shall be those created by the pilot counties.
c. Upon application to and approval by the Director of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs, the pilot county utilities authorities shall be permitted to fund improvements within the counties, and each shall report to the Director of Local Government Services annually on the county projects that have been funded by the county utilities authorities.
