What This Bill Does
Requires municipalities in certain large counties to fund school campus improvements when low-income housing developments are constructed or rehabilitated in a school's attendance zone. Specifically, the municipality must request an impact study from the school district to determine necessary capital improvements and then fully fund those improvements based on the anticipated increase in student population. The bill applies to municipalities with over 1.5 million residents where more than 75% live in a single city, and takes effect September 1, 2025.
