SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 740 would allow boards of county commissioners to contract the use of county build-
ings to nonprofit organizations with a history of service to sick and indigent persons, which ser-
vice could legally be expected to be provided by a governmental entity, at rates the organizations
can be reasonably expected to pay while maintaining their full service to their constituencies.
The contracts would be required to set forth the respective value of services provided by the
nonprofit organizations to county residents and relative value of the use of the property provided
by the county.
Significant Issues
DFA indicated SB740 might be beneficial to counties by providing low-cost lease space in ex-
change for relieving county governments of the costs of providing some services to sick and in-
digent persons.
