Bill > SF1553

This bill modifies the local government aid formula specifically for the city of Baldwin by establishing a special calculation method for aids payable in 2026. Under this bill, when calculating Baldwin's local government aid for the 2026 payment year, the city's 2025 aid amount will be determined by multiplying an unspecified dollar amount by the city's population. This appears to be a unique provision that temporarily adjusts the standard base year formula aid calculation for Baldwin, potentially to address a specific financial situation or provide temporary fiscal support. The bill explicitly states that this modified calculation method is only effective for aids payable in 2026, making it a time-limited intervention in the city's local government aid calculation. The bill does not specify the exact multiplier to be used, leaving that detail to be determined separately, but ensures that the city's aid will be directly tied to its population for that specific year.
