HB4236 establishes a legislative "School District Property Value Study Group" to scrutinize and potentially overhaul how "complex properties" (industrial, utility, and large commercial) are valued for tax purposes. While this Act levies no immediate tax, it signals a legislative intent to redefine valuation methodologies to capture more revenue from major assets in the 2027 session; businesses with specialized appraisal methods are the primary target.
