1997 - 1998 LEGISLATURE

1997 Assembly BILL 434

June 24, 1997 - Introduced by Representatives Black, J. Lehman, Wasserman, Robson, Murat, Sykora, Cullen and Plouff, cosponsored by Senators Jauch and Grobschmidt. Referred to Committee on Ways and Means.

AB434,1,2 An Act to create 121.91 (4) (f) of the statutes; relating to: increasing a school district's revenue limit by the amount spent for school security measures.

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 a school year to $206 per pupil. 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 amount spent by the school district for measures designed to prevent criminal activity in schools.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
