What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, instead of paying property taxes, the state pays

municipalities for municipal services provided to state facilities located in the

municipalities. The state negotiates the payment amount with each municipality

based on the state's calculation of the value of state property located in the

municipality. If the appropriation for making the payments for municipal services

is insufficient for paying the full amount of all the negotiated payments, the state

prorates the payments among the municipalities.

Under this bill, the state pays to municipalities for municipal services 65

percent of the full amount in fiscal year 2016-17, 80 percent of the full amount in

fiscal year 2017-18, 95 percent of the full amount in fiscal year 2018-19, and the full

amount in fiscal year 2019-20 and in each year thereafter.
