This bill requires South Dakota school districts to give property owners at least 21 days' notice before voting on an excess tax levy, with notices published in newspapers, on district websites, and mailed directly to property owners by the county. The notice must include the maximum tax increase amount, the standard levy limit, hearing details, the estimated tax impact per $100,000 of property value, and how the money will be used. School districts must reimburse counties for the costs of printing and mailing these notices to property owners.
This amendment completely rewrites the bill from one about increasing property tax exemptions for disabled veterans to one about modifying public notice and voting procedures for school district excess tax levies. The change fundamentally REDIRECTS the bill's purpose from veteran tax relief to school finance procedural requirements.
