Introduced in the House

Nov. 9, 2016

Introduced by Rep. Jeff Irwin (D-53)

To amend the school property tax caps put in place by the 1994 Proposal A school finance and property tax limitation initiative, by allowing school districts to request a one-mill property tax increase for school operating purposes. Proposal A was intended to place a permanent cap on these tax increases, which in some areas had been making it difficult for people to keep their homes.
