1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE
March 7, 2000 - Introduced by Representatives Black, Pocan, Miller, Travis and
Berceau. Referred to Committee on Ways and Means.
AB831,1,3
1An Act to amend 79.03 (1), 79.03 (3) (a), 79.06 (1) (b) and 79.06 (2) (b); and
to
2create 79.03 (2m) of the statutes;
relating to: limiting the maximum allowable
3loss in shared revenue.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, each city, village and town (municipality) and each county
is entitled to shared revenue payments from the state, based on the municipality's
and the county's population and based on a mathematical formula. The calculation
of the formula results in each municipality's and county's "entitlement".
"Entitlement" is defined as the product of aidable revenues and tax base weight.
This bill creates a new shared revenue payment that ensures that the loss in
shared revenue by a municipality or county will not exceed $1,000,000 during any
10-year period.
For further information see the 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:
