Introduced to
House: May 10, 2005
Assigned to House Finance and Appropriations Committee (Calvert)
Substitute Bill Accepted: December 14, 2005
Fifth Hearing Held: January 11, 2006
This bill
authorizes two or more school boards to create a taxing district for the
joint funding of behavioral health, autism, and related services to
students.
PCSAO supports
the funding of substance abuse and intervention services, behavioral
health services, and autism services; but opposes HB 250 and the creation
of “special” taxing districts that would:
| · |
undercut
the existing levy system, |
| · |
complicate the tax
system, and |
| · |
take
control and power away from elected, public officials giving it to
unelected persons to put tax increases on the ballot |
