FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATURE 2nd CALLED SESSION 2023
 
June 28, 2023

TO:
Honorable Joan Huffman, Chair, Senate Committee on Finance
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SJR1 by Bettencourt (Proposing a constitutional amendment to increase the amount of the exemption from ad valorem taxation by a school district applicable to residence homesteads, to adjust the amount of the limitation on school district ad valorem taxes imposed on the residence homesteads of the elderly or disabled to reflect increases in certain exemption amounts, and to except certain appropriations to pay for school district ad valorem tax relief from the constitutional limitation on the rate of growth of appropriations.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated, other than the cost of publication.

The cost to the state for publication of the resolution is $204,406.

The approval of the proposed amendment to Section 1-b of Article VIII by the voters would, in and of itself, result in a reduction of school district property tax revenue and a partial reimbursement of that lost revenue by the state. The fiscal impact of these provisions is shown in the fiscal note for SB 1.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
