SB532,1,5
1An Act to amend 79.015, 79.02 (2) (b) and 79.02 (3) (a); and
to create 20.835 (1)
2(bm), 79.01 (1m) and 79.044 of the statutes;
relating to: additional municipal
3aid payments based on the amount of all municipal aid payments compared to
4total general fund expenditures and on regional factors and making an
5appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, generally, beginning in 2011, a municipality receives an
annual municipal aid payment from the state (otherwise known as shared revenue)
that is equal to the amount it received in 2010. Under this bill, beginning in 2014,
each municipality also will receive a payment based on its population in proportion
to the population of the region where the municipality is located. This bill creates
eight regions and each region consists of several counties. For purposes of
determining the municipality's payment, the municipality's population is adjusted
to reflect the average of the adjusted gross income of the municipality's population,
as compared to that of the region, and the equalized value of the municipality's
property, as compared to that of the region. The total amount of these payments is
equal to 75 percent of the difference between the total amount of municipal aid
payments paid in the previous year and the total amount of municipal aid payments
paid in the previous year increased by a percentage that represents the portion of all
general fund expenditures for the year allocated to municipal aid.
In addition to the payment based on a municipality's region, each municipality
will receive a payment based on its population in proportion to the population of all
municipalities. The population used to determine the payment is adjusted to reflect
the average of the adjusted gross income of the municipality's population, as
compared to that of all municipalities, and the equalized value of the municipality's
property, as compared to that of all municipalities. The total amount of these
payments is equal to 25 percent of the difference between the total amount of
municipal aid payments paid in the previous year and the total amount of municipal
aid payments paid in the previous year increased by a percentage that represents the
portion of all general fund expenditures for the year allocated to municipal aid.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
