§ 3261. Clean energy assessment districts; approval of voters

(a) The legislative body of a town, city, or incorporated village may submit to the voters of the municipality the question of whether to designate the municipality as a clean energy assessment district.

(b) Upon a vote of approval by a majority of the qualified voters of the municipality voting at an annual or special meeting duly warned for that purpose, the municipality may incur indebtedness for or otherwise finance projects relating to renewable energy, as defined in subdivision 8002(2) of Title 30, or to eligible projects relating to energy efficiency as defined by section 3267 of this title, undertaken by owners of real property within the boundaries of the town, city, or incorporated village.
