 result from prohibiting residents from being assessed library taxes  for
 more than one library district; and

 revenue resulting from the prohibition of residents from being  assessed
 library taxes for more than one library district.
   § 2. The commissioner of education shall submit a report to the gover-
 nor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assem-
 bly on or before December 31, 2023.
