What’s in it
AI summary School districts would face new limits on how much money they can borrow through bonds for certain projects. If voters approve a project after July 1, 2025, the district can only use bonds to pay for a specific percentage of the total cost. Any leftover costs for that project must be paid for using other sources of money instead of more bonds.1
