HB1198 removes the $3-per-$1,000 valuation cap on property taxes that school districts can levy for capital outlay funds (money used for buildings, equipment, and similar assets). This allows school boards to levy as much as needed for capital projects instead of being limited to that maximum amount, though they can still only pledge tax revenue to pay for specific bonds or equipment purchase agreements.
