SB 1 passed the Senate unanimously.
Beginning January 1, 2010, it terminates a number of tax levies. Specifically: (1) the medical assistance to wards property tax levy; (2) the family and children’s property tax levy; (3) the children’s psychiatric residential treatment services property tax levy; (4) the children with special health care needs property tax levy; (5) the maximum permissible tuition support levy; and (6) the county supplemental school financing property tax levy. It specifies that the termination of the tuition support levy does not prohibit a school corporation from imposing a referendum tax levy.
Presumably these services will have to be financed through other funding sources, legislation for which would have to originate in the House.
