Bill > H0809

This bill proposes to repeal most of the provisions of a previous act, 2025 Acts and Resolves No. 73, while preserving certain changes related to tuition eligibility for independent schools, State Board of Education appointments, the creation of regional assessment districts, and miscellaneous tax matters. Specifically, the bill introduces new property tax classifications and rates for residential properties, including a higher rate for second homes and short-term rentals, and a separate classification for nonhomestead seasonal properties that will be taxed similarly to nonhomestead nonresidential properties. Additionally, it establishes a summer study committee tasked with researching and recommending ideal class size ranges for Vermont public schools, considering factors like student outcomes, instructional effectiveness, fiscal sustainability, and equity.
