If voters approve a specific tax rate or amount and a reassessment occurs before revenue is collected, school boards must recalculate tax rates. Any subsequent tax rate increase requires voter approval. The bill also limits tax rate increases to a maximum of 10% over prior revenue. It specifies how to calculate tax rates based on various assessment-to-sales price ratios.
