AI Summary
This bill amends the Education Equity and Property Tax Relief Act to ensure that the total education aid provided to any local education agency (LEA), which is a school district or similar entity responsible for public education, will not decrease by more than one percent (1%) of the amount the municipality appropriated for education in the prior fiscal year. This provision aims to stabilize funding for LEAs by preventing drastic cuts to their overall education aid, which includes distributed categorical funds, and the act will become law immediately upon its passage.
