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 the full amount of all payments to municipalities for municipal services.
