An Act relating to organization grants for mergers, consolidations, or unifications involving third class boroughs.

Updated:	April 24, 2002
Contact:	Bill Lawrence, Aide to Representative Carl Morgan, at (907) 465-3882

This bill amends current statutes regarding organization grants to boroughs and unified municipalities.

Currently, statutes do not provide for an organization grant to be disbursed to a unified municipality that merges or consolidates by occupying an area formerly occupied by a borough.

The bill amends the statutes by providing for organizations grants for a municipality that unifies after January 1, 2002 in an area formerly occupied by a third class borough.

The grants are for $200,000 for the first full or partial fiscal year and another $200,000 for the second fiscal year after the merger or consolidation.
