The bill amends section 77-1633 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to modify the requirements for political subdivisions seeking to increase their property tax requests beyond the allowable growth percentage. Key changes include the stipulation that each political subdivision must send a voting member of its governing body to a joint public hearing, which must be organized by the county clerk. Additionally, the county assessor of the hosting county is now required to attend the hearing. The bill also specifies that the joint public hearing must occur between September 14 and September 24, and it mandates that public notice of the hearing be sent to affected property taxpayers, posted on the county's website, and published in a legal newspaper.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the information that must be included in the presentations made by the designated representatives of each political subdivision during the hearing, such as the proposed property tax request and its impact on the budget. It also establishes requirements for the content of the postcards sent to taxpayers, including estimates of potential tax changes. The original section 77-1633 is repealed, consolidating the new provisions into the updated legal framework.
