Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how school administrative units handle leftover money in their budgets. Currently, schools must use unspent funds over 5% of their budget to reduce state and local funding, with a temporary 9% limit for certain years. This bill makes the 9% limit permanent for all future fiscal years, allowing school boards to carry forward more unallocated funds for up to three years.
