From the meeting
HB 334 authorized all counties and cities to levy an additional local sales and use tax of up to one percent if approved in a voter referendum. Revenue must be used only for public school capital projects, including new construction, major renovation, debt repayment for prior school projects, and site acquisition. The fiscal note said the bill would become effective July 1, 2026 if enacted and that local administrative costs were unknown.
Actionable: the bill created a future local funding mechanism for school construction and renovation.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
