SCS/HB 812 - This act increases the maximum allowable tax levy for county and district hospitals from 50 cents to $1 on the hundred dollars of assessed valuation. Any ballot proposal in which the maximum levy exceeds 50 cents must be published in a newspaper of general circulation or the board of trustees must make a summary available that describes its plans for using the money.

This act also increases the allowable tax levy rate for debt service in Kansas City from the current fifty cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation to one dollar per hundred dollars assessed valuation. This provision is identical to SB 348 (1999).
