On page 19, after line 35, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 401. By March 1, 2027, the department of revenue must report to the relevant committees of the legislature what the consolidated state property tax levy rate would have been had it not been set to the rate in section 301 of this act, accounting for the limit factor, considerations of the reduction of taxable assessed value, and property tax shifts due to the expansion of the property tax relief program for retired persons in part I of this act. The goal of the report is to give the legislature information needed so the legislature may choose to modify the rate during the 2027 legislative session for property taxes levied for collection in calendar year 2028. This section expires December 31, 2027."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

EFFECT: Directs the Department of Revenue to report to the Legislature what the consolidated levy rate would have been if not for the set rate in the bill, accounting for the 1 percent growth limit, as well as the reduced taxable value and property tax shifts as a result of the expansion of the property tax relief program.
