Impact analysis
Could shift growth-related infrastructure costs onto developers instead of general taxpayers, though details are still being drafted.
Existing taxpayers benefit if new growth pays more of its own infrastructure costs.
Developers and new homebuyers could face higher costs that may be passed on in home prices.
