SACRAMENTO AP The Assembly backed a bill empowering school districts to seek a 10 cent override tax to fund earthquake safety. The measure by Assemblyman Leroy Greene allows districts to levy the override without voter approval, applicable to districts already spending a portion of the current earthquake safety tax. A 0.9 cent tax per $100 assessed value would amount to about 4.4 dollars yearly on a $20,000 home.
