Bill > SB1041

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 three cents per hundred dollars of assessed property value and could only be implemented after receiving voter approval through a ballot measure at a general election. The proposed ballot question would ask voters whether they support the tax, and if a majority votes in favor, the tax would become effective. If the measure fails, the school board cannot impose the tax unless voters subsequently approve it in a future election. Any revenue collected from this tax must be deposited into a special trust fund called the "Special Educational Services Property Tax Trust Fund" and can only be used for the designated purpose of funding special educational services in the district. The bill specifies that existing property tax laws and constitutional provisions would apply to this new tax, ensuring consistency with current regulations.
