1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
January 14, 1999 - Introduced by Representatives Schneider, J. Lehman, Boyle,
Berceau and Lassa, by request of Wisconsin Rapids School District. Referred
to Committee on Ways and Means.
AB8,1,2
1An Act to create 121.91 (4) (h) of the statutes;
relating to: the treatment of
2special assessments under school district revenue limits.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally 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. The limit is based
on the difference between the average of the number of pupils enrolled in the three
previous school years and the average of the number of pupils enrolled in the current
and two previous school years.
This bill increases the school district's revenue limit in any school year by the
amount spent by the school district in the previous school year for special
assessments for public improvements.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB8, s. 1
