Maddy summaryThis bill exempts state-owned land containing correctional facilities from property tax assessments for school funding purposes.

The change applies to assessment rolls prepared on or after the effective date (January 1 following enactment). This directly affects state correctional facilities by removing their land value from local school tax calculations. The bill does not alter tax treatment of improvements on these properties or impact other types of state-owned land.
