Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

Summary

This Act removes the 10% increase in school property tax revenue and replaces it with a school district that can demonstrate that it will suffer a loss of projected revenue resulting from the general reassessment being allowed to increase its rate of taxation up to 2% per year for 5 years or until the district's projected revenue loss per year has been fully realized, whichever comes first.
