Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
10 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
More school help for special-needs students
School districts can bill Medicaid for certain special education services for eligible students. The Department of Health pays approved costs to districts, and the money is then sent to the state’s school fund. The Department of Education also pays allowable education costs for children in psychiatric residential treatment when the Health Department finds the placement medically necessary. Facilities must be certified by Health and approved by Education to get these payments.
How extra state money is split
The law sets how excess state revenue is shared. One‑third of revenue above $200,000,000 goes to the school foundation account, subject to other rules. Some funds that would go to that account are instead deposited to the Hathaway scholarship and higher education endowments, but the treasurer must keep at least $100,000,000 in the school foundation account on July 1 each year. An annual amount also moves to the common school permanent fund reserve as set by law. The law also records past-year thresholds and shares through FY2026, including 40% of the excess for FY2023–FY2026 above the listed thresholds.
New money streams for school funding
Any leftover funds in the state’s stable token account now flow quarterly into the school foundation account. The state must deposit all federal E‑rate internet funds into that account. Forty-five percent of the 20% weekly tax on skill-based amusement games goes to the account. Earnings on revenue bond–funded school construction investments are also credited there. Repayments from teacher and adjunct loan programs now go into the account. Each year between July 1 and July 10, any general fund balance above 20% of appropriations is transferred into the account.
School payment backstops and shortfall cuts
The treasurer can lend from reserve funds to keep school payments going, with repayment when the school fund has money. If the school fund is short, the superintendent must cut each district’s guaranteed payment by the same percent. Districts must report levy revenue by August 15; the state pays any shortfall by October 15 or counts any excess against next year’s entitlement. Districts facing cash‑flow strain may get a short‑term advance up to 20% of their foundation amount by September 1, but must repay by December 15.
County option property tax refunds
Counties may offer a refund of last year’s property tax on your main home. You must have paid the tax on time. Your gross household income must be at or below the county cap, which cannot be higher than 165% of the county’s median household income. Counties verify income by federal tax returns if filed or by other county rules.
Budget must show school funding needs
The governor’s budget now must include recommended appropriations from the school foundation account and for school construction. The state superintendent must include recommendations for amounts needed to pay districts. This makes school operating and building needs clear in the budget process.
Small grants for innovation and career programs
The state can award career and technical education demonstration grants from the school foundation account when the legislature provides the money. The Department of Education also distributes up to $250,000 each year in total for innovative program grants to school districts, if funded. These grants support new or improved learning programs.
State repays districts for outside placements
Districts that paid out‑of‑district tuition for a placed student are reimbursed from the school foundation account. For reimbursement, the district’s foundation amount is increased by the tuition it paid the prior year. Admitting districts also get reimbursed for prior‑year costs to maintain students who attend under placement rules. These reimbursements follow state rules and approvals.
Immunity for officers giving emergency help
Law enforcement officers who respond to an assistance request under state law are immune from civil lawsuits if they act in good faith and reasonably. This protects officers acting under emergency assistance rules and may limit some civil claims.
Rules for insurer wildfire services
Services hired by insurance companies to prevent or fight wildland fires on insured properties are now treated as privately contracted wildland fire resources. These services must follow the state forester’s standards and rules.
