Individual, Business and/or Local Impact:
Enactment of this bill may result in increased revenue allocations to school districts that qualify to receive Capital Outlay Foundation Program revenues. Enactment of this bill may also result in additional school districts qualifying for program revenues. Bill provisions increase the property tax threshold rate that school districts may impose to receive a distribution from the Capital Outlay Foundation Program. Districts that meet or exceed the new rate will receive a full allocation, those districts that do not meet the new rate may see a pro-rata allocation based on their participation level.
