LC 1204 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise education funding laws by replacing school district BASE levies with countywide BASE levies

This bill proposes changing how Montana school districts collect their base funding by shifting from individual district levies to a single countywide levy system. Under the new system, property taxes would be collected at the county level to support school district budgets, and the amount of tuition charged to students would be adjusted to reflect this change. The legislation also updates related state laws governing how school districts use nonlevy revenue, manages guaranteed tax base aid, and defines the responsibilities of local officials like trustees and county treasurers in administering the new funding structure.
