Introduced Version → House Engrossed Version (02/25/2026) · 5 edits · Apr 1, 2026

MODERATE

The bill was expanded from a single section on school property leases to four sections covering school property sales, leases, and tax exemptions. It clarifies how school districts must use money from selling or leasing property based on their debt levels, adds specific rules for housing development projects, and updates tax exemption laws to exclude school-leased properties from affordable housing tax breaks.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from solely regulating school property leases to also governing the disposition of proceeds from school property sales and establishing new tax exemption rules for both educational and affordable housing properties.

FISCAL

New rules were added requiring school districts to deposit proceeds from property sales into a 'school plant fund' rather than a 'civic center school fund', with spending restrictions based on the district's outstanding bonded indebtedness.

ELIGIBILITY

The tax exemption for affordable housing projects was modified to explicitly exclude properties leased from school districts, preventing school-leased spaces from qualifying for affordable housing tax breaks.

REQUIREMENT

A new subsection was added to clarify that school districts may lease property for housing development projects only if allowed by specific existing housing statutes, while maintaining separate authority for teacher housing and property sales.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'extended day resource programs' was updated to clarify that activities can be offered for children of any age, not just kindergarten through eighth grade.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and phrasing adjustments were made throughout the text, such as standardizing the use of 'spend' versus 'expend' and correcting grammatical inconsistencies.
