Officials were told their plans must demonstrate new recurring property tax savings by eliminating or consolidating
duplicative local government services, and they were instructed to hold a minimum of three public hearings.
This team, made up of representatives of the Legislature,
local government, education and private industry, will conduct a rigorous and comprehensive review of mandates imposed on school districts and other
local taxing districts to identify mandates that are ineffective, unnecessary, outdated and
duplicative in order to develop the best and most cost - effective ways to deliver mandated programs and
services.
