1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
April 22, 1999 - Introduced by Representatives Plouff, J. Lehman, Gronemus,
Kreuser and Wasserman. Referred to Committee on Ways and Means.
AB285,1,3
1An Act to create 121.91 (4) (h) of the statutes;
relating to: increasing a school
2district's revenue limit for expenditures related to participation of pupils in
3statewide tournaments and competitions.
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 to approximately
$209 per pupil in the 1998-99 school year and, in subsequent school years, to the
amount of revenue increase allowed per pupil in the previous school year increased
by the percentage change in the consumer price index. Several exceptions exist. 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 increases a school district's revenue limit in any school year by the
amount spent by the school district in the previous school year for participation of
pupils in statewide tournaments and competitions.
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:
