prohibiting school facilities from being used to provide shelter for aliens; relative to department of health and human services contracts; and requiring the use of public notices before reassessment of property values for tax purposes.
HB 71 prohibits public school facilities from being used to house non-citizens and requires health department contracts to align with this restriction. It also mandates that local governments provide public notice before reassessing property values for tax purposes. The bill directly affects school districts, health agencies, and property owners who may face new administrative requirements. These provisions focus on restricting shelter use in schools and ensuring transparency in property tax assessments.
