SB 666 Standards of Quality in public schools; computation of composite index.
Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Computation of composite index. Requires the General Assembly to modify the current Standards of Quality (SOQ) funding formula and calculation of composite index of local ability-to-pay that determines each locality's ability to pay for its share of providing an educational program meeting the prescribed SOQ to incorporate within the real estate indicator of local wealth the land use taxation value for those properties within a land-use plan.
Localities may adopt land-use plans and provide for the use value assessment and taxation of certain properties, such as those designated for agricultural, horticultural, forest, or open-space use.
The current composite index of local ability to pay incorporates the "true value" of real property (rather than any special use assessed values) weighted 50 percent, with adjusted gross income weighted at 40 percent, and taxable retail sales weighted at 10 percent, as indicators of local wealth.
