Bill Summary

Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in school finances, further providing for school districts lying in more than one county or in more than one municipality and limitation on total tax revenues.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to further provide for school districts that lie in more than one county or municipality. It offers several alternatives for how these multi-county school districts can set their tax rates, including using the market value of properties as determined by the State Tax Equalization Board, setting a uniform tax rate for the entire district, or following the same limitations on tax rate increases as single-county school districts under the Taxpayer Relief Act. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and options for multi-county school districts in managing their finances and tax rates.
