The House has just voted 53-16 in favor of a new property tax relief bill – this one amended into SB 1404, an unrelated bill about school bonds that already had passed the Senate. The newly amended bill now matches up with HB 678, a bill that earlier passed the House, and then was sent back to committee in the Senate after efforts to amend it fell short. That bill would have shifted half the current school operations funding off the property tax.
