Primary and secondary education
Currently, if a school district's enrollment is declining, its revenue limit is increased by the amount of additional revenue that would have been calculated had the decline in enrollment been 25 percent of what it was. This bill increases the district's revenue limit by the additional amount that would have been calculated had there been no decline in enrollment.
The bill also provides that if a school district's revenue limit, after consideration of the per pupil adjustment and low revenue ceiling but before any other adjustments, is less than the district's base revenue from the previous school year, the district's initial revenue limit would be set at the prior year's base revenue.

2007 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: consolidation of unemployment insurance appropriations derived from interest, penalties, and certain assessments and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Employment
Currently, DWD receives program revenue from interest and penalties assessed by DWD under the unemployment insurance law, from assessments for the purpose of making interest payments to the federal government, and from forfeitures (civil monetary penalties) imposed for violations of the unemployment insurance law. These revenues are expended by DWD for certain purposes specified by law. Expenditures are limited only by available revenues. However, there are also four sum certain appropriations made to DWD from the same program revenue for specified purposes. These appropriations are a first draw upon available revenues and are expendable only up to the maximum dollar amount for each appropriation specified by law. These appropriations relate to research relating to the condition of the unemployment reserve fund, administration of the unemployment insurance program and federal and state unemployment insurance programs authorized by the governor, renovation and modernization of unemployment insurance information technology systems, and assistance to the DOJ in enforcing the unemployment insurance law.
Under this bill, the sum certain appropriations for each of the above purposes are deleted and DWD is permitted to spend available moneys from this program revenue for any of the purposes specified in the current sum certain appropriations as well as for the purposes currently specified by law in whatever amounts DWD chooses subject only to available revenues.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
