HB 6133 Summary

• Amends the General Property Tax Act to require ballot language for millage proposals to be changed from "shall" to "must" throughout the statute for grammatical consistency.

• Requires ballots proposing to increase an existing millage to state the amount of increase both numerically and as a percentage of the original rate.

• Maintains existing requirements that ballots fully disclose which local units of government will receive millage revenue and include the millage rate, estimated first-year revenue, duration, purpose, and whether the millage is new or a renewal.

• Requires ballots for bond authorization to disclose the principal amount, maximum years outstanding, purpose, estimated millage in the first year, and estimated simple average annual millage needed to retire the debt.

• Clarifies that inaccuracies in estimated millage information do not affect bond validity, tax status, or election results.
