Ballot language relating to school district referenda amended.
HF 3798 amends Minnesota ballot language for school district referenda, directly affecting school districts holding votes on capital projects or revenue increases. It requires clearer ballot text stating whether a vote is renewing an existing project (e.g., "renew an existing capital project referendum that is scheduled to expire") and specifies required details like project cost, commissioner review status, and tax rate impact. The bill modifies sections 123B.63, 126C.17, and 275.60 to standardize voter information while maintaining existing funding mechanisms. This change aims to improve voter clarity without altering how referenda are conducted or funded.
