2005 House Bill 4707

Raise Proposal A property tax cap

Introduced in the House

May 3, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Tom Meyer (R-84)

To allow school districts to increase property taxes on non-homestead (principal residence) property to a maximum of 18 mills for school operating purposes. Under current law, schools can levy 18 mills, or the number of mills levied before Proposal A passed in 1994, whichever is less. Since increased school operating expense millages were prohibited by Proposal A, the bill would require the 3/4 supermajority vote mandated by the Constitution for legislation amending an initiative adopted by popular vote.

Referred to the Committee on Education
