Subcommittee adjourns debate on bill to allow municipal operating millages
Summary
The Property Tax Subcommittee took up Senate Bill 102, which would let municipalities set an operating millage to generate one-third of general fund expenses in specified cases; with no public testimony the committee voted 5-0 to adjourn debate on the measure.
The Property Tax Subcommittee took up Senate Bill 102, a measure that would let municipalities establish an operating millage sufficient to generate one-third of their general fund expenses in specified situations, and adjourned debate with a unanimous procedural vote.
Staff summarized the bill’s provisions, saying it applies to municipalities that did not have an operating millage on Jan. 1, 2025, or to newly incorporated municipalities and would allow reimposition based on prior millage plus allowed increases. The staff also said any imposed or reimposed millage would be subject to statutory limits on increases and that changes would require approval by referendum at the general election before taking effect the next fiscal year.
With no members of the public signed to speak, a committee member moved to adjourn debate. The motion was put to roll call and recorded as five yeas and zero nays. The committee then moved to the next agenda item.
The committee did not take up amendments or a final disposition on the policy; adjournment of debate leaves room for additional subcommittee consideration before a floor action.
