SB155,1,2
1An Act to create 121.91 (4) (d) of the statutes;
relating to: increasing a school
2district's revenue limit by its additional consolidation aid.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law limits the increase in the total amount of revenue that a school
district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in the 1993-94 to
1997-98 school years. In the 1993-94 school year, the maximum allowable increase
per pupil was $190 or the rate of inflation, whichever was greater. Beginning in the
1994-95 school year, the $190 per pupil amount is adjusted each year by the rate of
inflation. 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 additional state aid that a school district created by the
consolidation of 2 or more school districts is receiving as a result of the consolidation.
Under current law, the primary and secondary guaranteed valuations of a school
district created by consolidation are increased by 10% in the school year in which the
consolidation takes effect and in each of the subsequent 4 school years, resulting in
additional state school aid.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
