AI Summary
- School district millage elections would be restricted to November regular elections only, beginning January 1, 2027, as referenced through the limitation in section 24f(4) of the General Property Tax Act
- Amends Michigan Election Law (1954 PA 116) sections 312, 641, and 821 governing school board ballot questions, election dates, and county canvassing procedures
- School districts may currently submit ballot questions on regular election dates (May, August, November), special election dates, or dates when local elections are held, but this flexibility would be limited for millage elections after 2027
- Petition-initiated special elections for school millages, bonds, or borrowing require signatures equal to 10% of voters in the last gubernatorial election or 3,000 signatures (whichever is less)
- This bill is tie-barred with HB 4583, meaning it only takes effect if HB 4583 is also enacted into law
