This bill aims to amend and enact various sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to state education funding, school district levy authority, and property tax statements. Key amendments include the introduction of a new section that establishes state aid payments for public schools, nonpublic schools, and students receiving home education. It specifies that students receiving home education or enrolled in nonpublic schools must register with their school district of residence to receive state aid. The bill also outlines how the amount of state aid is calculated based on the cost per student and the number of registered students.

Additionally, the bill repeals several existing sections related to adjustments to state aid payments and property tax levies for tuition payments. It modifies existing language regarding school district levies, including the conditions under which districts can impose levies and the requirements for voter approval. The bill also includes provisions for updating property tax statements to reflect legislative tax relief. Overall, the proposed changes aim to streamline education funding processes and clarify the responsibilities of school districts in relation to state aid and taxation.
