N ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR RENOVATIONS TO ST. MARY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION IN THE VILLAGE OF BALTIC.

SB 172 authorizes the state to issue up to $600,000 in bonds to fund renovations at St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, a private church in Baltic (Sprague town), specifically for its bell tower and other structures. The bill directs the Department of Economic and Community Development to provide this funding as a grant-in-aid, with the State Bond Commission empowered to approve the bond issuance under existing law. This is a targeted funding authorization for a specific church renovation project, not a broad policy change.
