This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to authorize the board of a consolidated school district to renew an expiring referendum established during the consolidation process. Specifically, it allows the school board to renew the referendum for a term not exceeding ten years, regardless of the terms of previous authorizations prior to consolidation. The bill also clarifies the requirements for the renewal process, including stipulations on the per pupil amount and the timeline for adopting the renewal resolution.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding the renewal of expiring referendums, allowing for a more streamlined process. It specifies that the renewal can occur without the need for an election, provided certain conditions are met, such as maintaining the same per pupil amount or adjusting it for inflation. The effective date for these changes is retroactively set to June 16, 2024, applying to resolutions adopted on or after that date.
