2009 House Bill 4313 ↩

House Roll Call 80: Passed

To allow school districts to increase property taxes by to three mills for 10 years to buy or fix school buses, and to buy computers and software, with the money passing through a "sinking fund." Note: Since new operating expense millages were prohibited by the 1994 Proposal A initiative, and under most accounting rules these items are considered operating expenses, the bill may require a 3/4 majority vote, which is required by the Constitution for revisions of an initiative adopted by popular vote.
