This 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, the bill requires school district trustees to adopt a resolution by March 31 each fiscal year when intending to impose an increase in a nonvoted levy. The resolution must include estimated impacts on homes valued at $100,000, $300,000, and $600,000, replacing the previous requirement that only considered homes valued at $100,000 and $200,000.

Additionally, the bill mandates that trustees provide notice of the intent to impose such increases by publishing the resolution in a widely circulated newspaper and posting it on the school district's website. This change aims to enhance transparency and ensure that the community is adequately informed about potential tax impacts related to school funding. The amendments will take effect on July 1, 2027, following a temporary provision that is set to expire on June 30, 2027.
