40:9D-6 Due diligence required prior to contract.
6. The governing body of a local unit exercising powers under subsection a. or subsection b. of section 2 of this act shall not enter into or implement any contract regarding broadband telecommunications infrastructure or broadband telecommunications service without first performing due diligence on the plan required under subsection a. of section 4 of this act. Due diligence shall include, but not be limited to, research that supports formal conclusions that the local unit or private entity, as appropriate, is creditworthy and that the provision of broadband telecommunications service via that network would not proceed in the absence of financing from the local unit or private entity, as appropriate. The conclusions of this analysis shall be reduced to writing and made available to the public before the governing body of the local unit formally considers any financing authorized pursuant to section 5 of this act or enters into a contract with a private entity pursuant to subsection b. of section 2 of this act.
