This bill would reduce available funding for public schools across the state and force them to increase their reliance on supplemental levies, which in turn increases property taxes of homeowners when passed.
Last week, we listed this bill as H 0088 that made it a felony to collect and deliver more than two (2) absentee ballots. The League gave testimony opposing it.
