ON THE BALLOT
Section 1 of Senate Joint Resolution 7
proposes a constitutional amendment
that would allow the legislature to re-
distribute among other school districts ad
valorem taxes levied and collected by a
school district. The amendment would
also allow the legislature to create county
education districts with the taxable prop-
the use of the permanent school fund
to guarantee state revenue bonds, but
would permit the legislature to provide
by law for the issuance of general obliga-
tion bonds or revenue bonds of the state
for the purpose of making loans to, or
purchasing bonds of, school districts for
the purpose of acquisition, construction,
or improvement of instructional facilities,
including all furnishings. The amendment
also provides that the state, pursuant to
general law, may forgive the payment of
principal and interest on all or part of a
a minimum tax rate in county educa- loan made to a school district under the
tion districts, and placing a cap on the amendment to partially finance an in-
ad valorem tax levied by county edu- structional facility. The cap of $750 mil-
lion on the amount of bonds that could be
issued under article VII, section 5(b), as
amended, would be retained. The amend-
ment would repeal the current provision
of the constitution permitting the legis-
lature to authorize bonds in excess of
$750 million by two-thirds record vote of
both houses of the legislature. While any
