1An Act to renumber and amend 121.91 (4) (f) 1.;
to amend 121.91 (4) (f) 1m.
2c.; and
to create 121.91 (4) (f) 1. a. and b. of the statutes;
relating to: the school
3district revenue limit adjustment for declining enrollment.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, if a school district's enrollment declines, for one year only its revenue
limit is increased by the amount of additional revenue that would have been allowed
had there been no decline in enrollment.
This bill extends the declining enrollment revenue adjustment to two years.
Under the bill, in the first year of an enrollment decline, a school district's revenue
limit is increased by 100 percent of the allowable revenues that the decline would
have generated. In the second year, the district receives a revenue adjustment equal
to 50 percent of the first-year adjustment.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
