The proposed bill amends section 77-1633 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, concerning the Property Tax Request Act. It mandates that a majority of the elected members of the governing bodies of participating political subdivisions must attend joint public hearings when any political subdivision seeks to increase its property tax request beyond the allowable growth percentage. The bill specifies that each political subdivision must designate one representative to attend the hearing, and it outlines the requirements for public notice and the information that must be presented during the hearing.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the organization of the joint public hearing, which must occur after 6 p.m. and before September 24, and requires that notice be sent to affected property taxpayers. The bill also details the information that must be included in the resolutions or ordinances passed by the governing bodies following the hearing, as well as the reporting requirements for the county clerk. The original section 77-1633 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
