The bill, HB 1807-FN, revises the requirements for the mandatory report that school districts must provide to voters before adopting a school budget. Key changes include replacing the word "must" with "shall" to emphasize the obligation of posting the report in at least three locations, including two public places and potentially the local newspaper or the district's website. The report is now required to be posted at least seven days prior to the first budget hearing and must be made available on the school district's website if one exists. Additionally, the content of the report has been updated to include a single graph with four financial indicators, rather than three separate line graphs, and the dimensions for the posted report have been adjusted.

The bill also introduces new requirements for reporting administrator salaries, mandating the creation of two indicator graphs: one for "Average Administrator Salaries" over the past ten years and another for "Total Administrator Salaries," which includes all wages for employees or contractors within the school administrative unit. The "Top Administrator Salaries" table has been expanded to include the ten highest-paid administrators and any employee earning over $100,000. The definition of "administrator" has been clarified to encompass various roles within the school district. The bill includes a contingency clause linking its effective date to the passage of another bill (HB 564) in the 2026 legislative session, specifying when each section will take effect.
