Increases the debt limit for school districts
SJR 58 proposes amending Missouri's constitution to increase school districts' debt limit from 5% to 20% of their taxable property value. This change would allow school districts to issue bonds for capital projects (like building repairs or new facilities) without needing voter approval at every election. The amendment requires voter approval in a general election or special election called by the governor. It directly affects Missouri's public school districts by expanding their borrowing capacity for infrastructure needs.
