Operating capital revenue inclusion of utility costs expansion provision

This bill expands how Minnesota school districts can use operating capital revenue to include utility service costs, which are currently not covered under existing funding rules. The legislation amends state statutes to allow districts to allocate these funds for paying electricity, water, heating, and other essential utility bills for school buildings. This change directly affects school districts across the state by providing additional flexibility in managing facility-related expenses. The provision becomes effective for the 2027 fiscal year and does not alter other existing uses of operating capital revenue for school infrastructure and equipment.
