1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE

1995 Assembly BILL 794

January 18, 1996 - Introduced by Representatives Schneider and Olsen, by request of Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools Board of Education. Referred to Committee on Ways and Means.

AB794,1,2 An Act to create 121.91 (4) (f) of the statutes; relating to: the treatment of special assessments under school district revenue limits.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law limits the increase in the total amount of revenue that a school district may receive from general school aids and property taxes. In the 1995-96 school year, the maximum allowable increase per pupil is $200. In each school year thereafter, the maximum allowable increase per pupil is $206. The limit is based on the difference between the average of the number of pupils enrolled in the 3 previous school years and the average of the number of pupils enrolled in the current and 2 preceding school years.

This bill increases the school district's revenue limit in any school year by the amount spent by the school district in the previous school year for special assessments for public improvements.

The bill initially applies to the school district's revenue limit for the 1996-97 school year.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
