AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE TERMS OF CERTAIN BONDS TO PROVIDE FOR A PROGRAM OF HOUSING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, SUPPORT FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, INCREASED INNOVATION AND JOB CREATION TO BE ISSUED BY THE COMMONWEALTH

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to facilitate forthwith the issuance of certain bonds to provide for a program of housing, community development, economic opportunities, support for local governments, increased innovation and job creation, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
