Bill Summary

Under current law, a school district's State aid is determined, in part, by the district's capacity to raise revenue locally, as measured by the community's equalized property valuation and aggregate income. In the case of property that is exempt from taxation under the "Long Term Tax Exemption Law," P.L.1991, c.431 (C.40A:20-1 et seq.), the value of the property is omitted from the calculation. This may lead a school district that is located in a municipality with exempt property to receive a greater amount of State aid at the expense of other districts. This bill requires that the value of property exempt from taxation under that law be included when determining a community's wealth for the purpose of determining State school aid.

AI Summary

This bill requires the value of property exempt from taxation under the "Long Term Tax Exemption Law" to be included when determining a community's wealth for the purpose of calculating state school aid. This change aims to prevent school districts located in municipalities with exempt properties from receiving a greater amount of state aid at the expense of other districts.
