The bill modifies the eligibility criteria for school districts in Minnesota to levy for swimming pool operating costs. Specifically, it amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 126C.455, by removing the requirement that a school district must be located in a county with a population density of ten or fewer persons per square mile according to the 2000 census. The revised language allows any school district within the specified boundaries to levy for the net operational costs of a swimming pool, with the levy capped at the net actual costs of operation from the previous year.

Additionally, the bill includes a new effective date stipulating that the changes will apply to taxes payable in 2027 and later. This adjustment aims to provide greater flexibility for school districts in managing their swimming pool operational expenses, potentially benefiting communities that rely on these facilities for educational and recreational purposes.
