HF 2745, Property Taxes by the House, was approved in the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday, March 18, and is now on the House Calendar. The bill diverts SAVE (Secure an Advanced Vision for Education) school infrastructure revenue to property tax relief too soon and effectively limits spending authority to no more than 35% of prior year expenditures annually. Find more details and talking points in the Call to Action linked here, and contact your Representatives ASAP to express thanks for some good provisions included, and express concerns around SAVE and UAB.

The House amended and approved the Governor’s MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) bill, which included several costly and unworkable unfunded mandates that would impact school districts. The House bill is now attached to SF 2367, already on the Senate Calendar. Contact Senators ASAP to request the removal of the unfunded mandates and additional provisions around PE, Extracurricular, Nutrition Waiver and Screen Time. Learn more in this Call to Action.
