Summary
Districts subtract last year’s insurance bill. State collects less, starting 2027.
This bill lets property-wealthy school districts that must send recapture money to the state subtract what they spent last year on property and casualty insurance, or on risk-pool contributions for that coverage. It touches school districts that pay recapture under the school finance system, and the state funds that receive those payments. Those districts would keep more of their local tax money, and the state would collect less recapture, starting September 1, 2027.
