Operating referendum ballot notice modified, and authority for the school board to renew a referendum without seeking voter approval unless notice requirements are met eliminated.

This bill changes how school districts can renew operating referendums, which are property tax increases approved by voters. Starting July 1, 2026, school boards can only renew a referendum once without a new vote if the original ballot notice stated this possibility. The bill also requires ballot notices to clearly inform voters about property tax impacts and the option for a one-time renewal by the school board.
