The bill amends Section 20-9-116 of the Montana Code Annotated to align the home value amounts used in school district property tax impact statements with other statutory provisions. Specifically, it requires school district trustees to adopt a resolution by March 31 each fiscal year when intending to impose an increase in a nonvoted levy for various educational funds. The resolution must include estimated changes in mills and revenue, as well as the estimated impacts of the levy increase on homes valued at $100,000, $300,000, and $600,000.

The bill replaces the previous requirement of estimating impacts on homes valued at $100,000 and $200,000 with the new values mentioned above. This change aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the tax implications for a broader range of home values, thereby enhancing transparency for taxpayers regarding school funding decisions. The bill is set to terminate on June 30, 2027, and includes provisions for publishing the resolution in local newspapers and on school district websites to ensure public awareness.
