Bill > SB439

This bill establishes a new grant program, referred to as "levy adjustment grants," to provide financial assistance to the village of Oregon and the towns of Oregon and Rutland. Specifically, it creates new sections in the state statutes (20.566 (2) (x), (y), and (z)) that authorize appropriations from the local government fund for these grants. The Department of Revenue (often abbreviated as DOR) will be responsible for awarding these grants annually by June 30th, with specific amounts allocated to each municipality as outlined in the bill and tied to the appropriations made under section 20.566. This initiative aims to help these local governments manage their tax levies, which refers to the amount of money a local government can raise through property taxes.
