Education Property Tax Legislation Update and Stakeholder Feedback Session CRAIG HARPER JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE STAFF OCTOBER 11, 2019 CRAIG.HARPER@STATE.CO.US 303-866-3481 Page 1
REMINDER: WHYAREWEHERE? The Joint Budget Committee is considering two legislative proposals to reform Colorado s property tax system supporting education. The Committee has asked for stakeholder input to shape and improve the legislation for introduction early in the 2020 legislative session. Uniform Mill Levy: Amend the School Finance Act to return the State to a uniform (statewide) total programmill levy with each school district s total program mill levy set at the lesser of the statewide mill levy or the mill levy necessary to fully fund the district s total program with local revenues. The mill levy would be uniform for any district receiving state aid for total program. Override Equalization: Provide a State match for mill levy override revenues raised in districts with lower property values (per pupil) to increase equity in mill levy overrides for lower-property-wealth districts. Matching system could be added to the uniform mill levy. 2
FEEDBACK PROCESS: UPDATES As many of you know, we are using an online polling tool to generate feedback to inform the Committee s discussions. We test drove that tool here at the September School Finance Project meeting. Since then, CASB has used the tool in a series of regional meetings to generate feedback from their members. Matt Cook is going to present some of the results from those discussions. I have another set of questions to follow Matt s presentation. 3
