Lawmaker warns HB 4416 could force school districts to raise taxes or cut services
A Republican lawmaker flagged a pending measure the transcript names "h b 44 16," saying it would provide unemployment benefits to non-instructional and non-administrative school district employees during summer break. The lawmaker argued the additional cost would either push school districts to raise local taxes or compel reductions in services to students.

"This bill, if it becomes law, would provide unemployment benefits to non instructional and non administrative school district employees during summer break," the lawmaker said, and warned district budgets would face new pressure. The transcript records no response or fiscal analysis from proponents or opponents during the remarks.
