The equalization bill has been introduced
We have a number for the equalization bill. HF1381 is carried by Representative Joe McDonald (R-Delano) in the House. SEE Executive Director, Brad Lundell, was able to get an additional 26 coauthors on the bill. This bill will provide significant property tax relief for working families across the state AND make the education funding system more equitable. Senator David Senjem (R-Rochester) will carry the Senate companion bill, which will be introduced early next week. Here is the district data run that shows how much property tax relief each district would receive through HF1381. The cost of this HF1381 is $80 million a year, $40 million in debt service equalization and $40 in referendum equalization. The governor proposed $19 million in debt service . equalization over two years in his budget. This bill provides property tax relief for many SEE districts. I will send out an action alert soon asking people to contact their legislators and other key state leaders to support HF1381. The alert will also have talking points and other information to help in your communications.
