Limits the use of port authority facilities unless certain conditions are met

Summary

The bill would require any agreement that supports a port authority facility—through bonds, leases, payments in lieu of taxes, or tax exemptions—to include a clause prohibiting the facility’s use for detention, corrections, or civil confinement for three years. An exemption could be granted only if the port authority board, the local municipality, and a majority of the affected taxing jurisdictions approve it in a public hearing. Violating the rule would trigger loss of incentives, a repayment of benefits already received, and possible court‑ordered damages.
