What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill ends payments to municipalities for the expenditure restraint incentive program in 2026 and begins payments to municipalities for the municipality payment program in 2027. The municipality payment program, created by the bill, provides payments to municipalities that received an expenditure restraint incentive program payment in 2024, 2025, or 2026. A municipality’s payment each year is equal to the highest expenditure restraint incentive program payment that the municipality received during the period from 2024 to 2026. Under current law, generally, a municipality is eligible to receive an expenditure restraint incentive program payment if its property tax levy is greater than 5 mills and if the annual increase in its municipal budget is less than the sum of factors based on inflation and the increased value of property in the municipality as a result of new construction.
