require an election for an excess tax levy of a school district.
Intent to reconsider
Summary
The bill changes state law so that any school district that wants to impose an additional property tax must first give taxpayers a detailed notice and allow an opt‑out or a referendum. If a board resolution or a petition signed by at least 5% of voters triggers it, the district must hold a special election by October 1 of the year before the taxes would be collected. The same rules apply to excess levies used for capital‑outlay projects.
