Abstract

Why this matters
Capital outlay funds are a state mechanism traditionally reserved for state agency and higher education facility projects; extending eligibility to K-12 and intermediate school districts could open a new state-level funding pathway for school facility and infrastructure needs. If enacted, districts would gain access to a funding stream outside the usual bond/sinking fund route, potentially easing local property tax pressure for capital projects.
