Summary of Bill S 3437

Bill 118 s 3437, also known as the Addressing SILO Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of State and Local Government Leasing Arrangements, also known as SILOs.

SILOs are financial transactions in which state and local governments lease out public assets, such as transportation infrastructure or public buildings, to private entities in exchange for upfront cash payments. These arrangements have come under scrutiny in recent years due to concerns about their impact on government finances and the potential for abuse.

The Addressing SILO Act of 2023 aims to increase transparency and oversight of these leasing arrangements. The bill requires state and local governments to disclose detailed information about any SILO transactions they enter into, including the terms of the lease, the amount of the upfront payment, and the expected financial impact on the government entity. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for the federal government to review and approve SILO transactions to ensure they are in the best interest of the public. This oversight is intended to prevent abuse and ensure that state and local governments are not entering into these arrangements solely for short-term financial gain. Overall, the Addressing SILO Act of 2023 seeks to protect the financial interests of state and local governments and promote transparency in their dealings with private entities. It is currently under consideration in Congress and may undergo further revisions before being voted on.
