More detail
The bill would provide that a covered school district is eligible for a state aid payment. This applies to a school district in a city with a population of at least one million. The payment would use whichever is larger: the sum of the calculations in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), or the calculation in paragraph (e). The act would take effect April 1, 2027. If it becomes law after that date, it would take effect then and be treated as in force starting April 1, 2027.
