2006 House Bill 6420

Allow operations millage increases in "hold harmless" school districts

Introduced in the House

Sept. 6, 2006

Introduced by Rep. Edward Gaffney (R-1)

To allow Proposal A "hold-harmless" school districts, which are those whose 1995 foundation allowance was $6,500 or greater, to seek increases in property tax millages levied for school operations, despite the prohibition on such millage increase elections imposed by Proposal A. These districts could increase taxes to raise their foundation allowance to a level that would match the rate of inflation.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
