School district to reauthorize a capital projects referendum by board action authorization

Minnesota Senate File 1460 allows school districts to renew expiring capital projects referendums through a school board resolution instead of holding a new voter vote. This applies when the renewal amount matches the expiring referendum, the term does not exceed the original duration, and the board holds a public hearing with a recorded vote. The board must adopt a written resolution by June 15 of the renewal year and submit it to the commissioner and county auditor by September 1. This change directly affects school districts seeking to extend existing capital project funding without requiring voter approval for renewals.
