Interim Study Report: Not Recommended for Future Legislation 10/16/2026 (Vote 13-2; )
Summary
The bill lets groups of school districts (school administrative units) calculate a maximum budget based on overhead cost per student, enrollment, and inflation. If a unit proposes a budget above that cap, voters in each district must approve it by a 3‑to‑5 majority; otherwise the capped amount is adopted. It also sets procedures for voting, recounts, and possible rescission of the cap.
