AI-generated plain-language summary

This measure would have allowed homeowners 55 and older to transfer their existing property tax assessments to new homes across county lines and to more expensive properties, with no limit on frequency of transfers. The change would have reduced property tax revenue and required increased state funding to maintain mandated school funding levels.
