This bill amends existing Montana law to require that voted levies be stated in dollar amounts rather than in mills, with the exception of school district levies. It allows for voted levies, other than those for school districts, to be subject to the calculation provisions outlined in section 15-10-420. The bill also makes several amendments to sections 15-10-420 and 15-10-425 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), including clarifying the procedures for calculating levies and the requirements for conducting elections related to mill levies.

Additionally, the bill repeals section 7-6-4431, which previously authorized exceeding or imposing less than the maximum mill levy with an election requirement. The amendments aim to streamline the process for governmental entities to impose levies while ensuring transparency in how these levies are communicated to the public. The changes also include specific provisions regarding newly taxable properties and the calculation of inflation rates for levy adjustments.
