AI Summary
This bill requires property tax bills to include specific information about state aid reductions to school districts resulting from various school choice and scholarship programs. Specifically, the bill mandates that property tax bills display the total gross reduction in state aid to the local school district due to three specific programs: the statewide parental choice program, the Racine Parental Choice Program, and the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, as well as payments made to private schools under the Special Needs Scholarship Program. The bill requires the tax bill to show the amount of state aid reduction in both the previous and current years, including the percentage change between those years. Additionally, the bill requires an inserted statement that explicitly states the dollar amount of the aid reduction and notes that the school district had the option to increase property taxes to compensate for this lost aid. This provision is designed to provide property owners with transparent information about how school choice programs impact their local school district's funding and potentially their property tax rates.
