SB261,1,2
1An Act to create 121.91 (4) (n) of the statutes;
relating to: increasing a school
2district's revenue limit for heating costs.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally limits the increase in the total amount of revenue per
pupil that a school district may receive from general school aids and property taxes
in a school year to the amount of revenue increase allowed per pupil in the previous
school year increased by the percentage change in the consumer price index. Several
exceptions are provided. For example, if a school district increases the services that
it provides by adding responsibility for providing a service transferred to it from
another governmental unit, its revenue limit is increased by the cost of that service.
This bill provides that a school district's revenue limit is increased by an
amount equal to the increased cost of heating the school district's buildings in the
current school year as compared to the previous school year.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
