Page 426, line 2: after that line insert:
"SECTION 707m. 38.17 of the statutes is created to read:
38.17 Levy limit. (1) DEFINITION. In this section, "debt service" includes debt service on debt issued or reissued to fund or refund outstanding municipal obligations, interest on outstanding municipal obligations, and related issuance costs and redemption premiums.
(2) LIMIT. Except as provided in subs. (3) and (4), no district board may increase its levy for any fiscal year to an amount that exceeds its levy for the previous fiscal year multiplied by 1.026.
(3) ADJUSTMENTS. (a) 1. If a district board transfers to another governmental unit responsibility for providing any service that it provided in the preceding fiscal year, the limit otherwise applicable under sub. (2) in the current fiscal year is decreased by the cost that it would have incurred to provide that service, as determined by the department of revenue.
2. If a district board increases the services that it provides by adding responsibility for providing a service transferred to it from another governmental unit that provided the service in the previous fiscal year, the limit otherwise applicable under sub. (2) in the current fiscal year is increased by the cost of that service, as determined by the department of revenue.
(b) 1. If the amount of debt service for a district board in the preceding fiscal year is less than the amount of debt service needed in the current fiscal year, as a result of the district board adopting a resolution before July 1, 2005, authorizing the issuance of debt, the limit otherwise applicable under sub. (2) for the current fiscal year is increased by the difference between the 2 amounts, as determined by the department of revenue.
2. The limit otherwise applicable under this section does not apply to amounts levied by a district board for the payment of any general obligation debt service, including debt service on debt issued or reissued to fund or refund outstanding municipal obligations, interest on outstanding municipal obligations, or the payment of related issuance costs or redemption premiums, authorized on or after July 1, 2005, by a referendum and secured by the full faith and credit of the district.
(4) REFERENDUM. (a) 1. A district board may exceed the levy limit under sub. (2) if it adopts a resolution to that effect and the resolution is approved in a referendum. The resolution shall specify the proposed amount of increase in the levy beyond the amount that is allowed under sub. (2), and shall also specify whether the proposed amount of increase is for the next fiscal year only or if it will apply on an ongoing basis.
2. Except as provided in subd. 3., the district board may call a special referendum for the purpose of submitting the resolution to the electors of the district for approval or rejection.
3. A referendum to exceed the limit under sub. (2) for the levy for the 2006-07 fiscal year shall be held at the spring primary or election or September primary or general election in 2006.
(b) The district board shall publish type A, B, C, D, and E notices of the referendum under s. 10.01 (2). Section 5.01 (1) applies in the event of failure to comply with the notice requirements of this paragraph.
(c) The referendum shall be held in accordance with chs. 5 to 12. The district board shall provide the election officials with all necessary election supplies. The form of the ballot shall correspond substantially with the standard form for referendum ballots prescribed by the elections board under ss. 5.64 (2) and 7.08 (1) (a). The question shall be submitted as follows: "Under state law, the percentage increase in the levy of the .... (name of district) for the next fiscal year, .... (year), is limited to ....%, resulting in a levy of $..... Shall the .... (name of district) be allowed to exceed this limit such that the percentage increase for the next fiscal year, .... (year), will be ....%, resulting in a levy of $....?".
(d) Within 14 days after the referendum, the district board shall certify the results of the referendum to the department of revenue. The limit otherwise applicable to the district under sub. (2) is increased for the next fiscal year by the amount approved by a majority of those voting on the question. If the resolution specifies that the increase is for one year only, the amount of the increase shall be subtracted from the base used to calculate the limit for the 2nd succeeding fiscal year.
(4m) PENALTY. The department of revenue shall notify the board of any amount levied by a district board that exceeds the district's limit under this section. The board shall reduce the district's state aid under s. 38.28 in the same fiscal year in which the excess levy occurred by an amount equal to the amount of the excess levy. The amount of the reduction shall lapse to the general fund.
(5) SUNSET. This section does not apply beginning 3 years after the effective date of this subsection .... [revisor inserts date].".
