Bill Summary
This bill requires that a person[s property tax bill include from the school district where the property is located information regarding the amount of any gross reduction in state aid to the district as a result of pupils enrolled in the statewide parental choice program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, or the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program or as a result of making payments to private schools under the Special Needs Scholarship Program. For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill requires property tax bills to include additional information from the school district about state aid reductions. Specifically, the bill mandates that property tax bills disclose the amount and percentage of state aid reduction in the previous and current years due to three specific school choice programs: the statewide parental choice program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, and the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, as well as reductions resulting from Special Needs Scholarship Program payments to private schools. The bill further requires a standardized insert that explicitly states the gross reduction in state aid and notes that the school district had the option to increase property taxes to compensate for the aid reduction. This provision only applies in years where such a reduction occurs, providing property owners with transparency about how school choice programs might impact their local school district's funding and potentially their property tax rates.
