Bill > SB203

This bill authorizes the board of education of a metropolitan school district to impose a property tax specifically for funding special educational services. The tax would be limited to a maximum rate of three cents per hundred dollars of assessed property valuation and would only become effective after being approved by voters in a general election. The ballot would present a clear yes/no question asking voters whether they support the tax for special educational services. If a majority of qualified voters approve the measure, the revenue collected would be deposited into a dedicated "Special Educational Services Property Tax Trust Fund" and used exclusively for the specified purpose. If the initial vote does not pass, the school board may resubmit the tax proposal to voters in a future election. The bill also specifies that existing state tax laws and constitutional provisions related to property taxation would apply to this new tax, ensuring it follows standard regulatory procedures for local tax measures.
