An Act protecting the fair share amendment

This bill creates a new state fund called the Fair Share Fund to hold money specifically for public education, affordable college tuition, and the repair of roads and bridges. It requires that all revenue designated for these purposes remains in this separate account and cannot be moved to the general state budget. Additionally, the bill exempts homeowners over age 65 who have lived in their primary residence for more than 30 years from a specific property tax surcharge on up to $750,000 of their home's value.
