AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution proposes an amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution to alter the financial responsibilities for funding public schools. Specifically, it aims to establish that local property taxes, referred to as the "general fund tax levy," must account for a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 80% of a school district's total general fund expenditures. Additionally, the resolution seeks to mandate that the State provide funding for at least 80% and no more than 100% of the additional costs associated with educating students who require special education services, a requirement that does not currently exist in terms of specific percentages. This proposed amendment will be put before the voters at the next general election.
