HB 2051 establishes a limitation on the amount of school property tax revenue subject to recapture under the state's public school finance system. The bill allows school districts to retain sufficient maintenance and operations tax revenue to cover their average per-student costs, adjusted for inflation. It sets guidelines for determining these costs based on the district's past expenditures and provides the commissioner of education with final authority to make determinations, which are not subject to appeal.
