Require school board approval of certain tax increment financing
This bill requires school boards to approve tax incentive districts in areas where local property taxes fund public schools. It defines specific criteria for these districts, such as high poverty rates or unemployment, and outlines rules for tax exemptions on property improvements within them. The legislation aims to ensure that communities relying on school funding have a say before their local governments use tax breaks to encourage development in distressed areas.
