AB939,1,2
1An Act to amend 79.03 (3) (b) 1. a. and 79.03 (3) (b) 1. b. of the statutes;
relating
2to: the aidable revenues entitlement under the shared revenue program.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the state administers a shared revenue program that
distributes state tax revenues to counties and municipalities for the counties and
municipalities to use at their discretion. The shared revenue program includes
payments to counties and municipalities known as aidable revenue entitlements.
Under current law, generally, the lower a county's or a municipality's per capita
property wealth and the higher the county's or municipality's aidable revenues, the
greater the county's or municipality's aidable revenue entitlement under the shared
revenue program. Under current law, aidable revenues for a municipality are equal
to the municipality's average local purpose revenues, and aidable revenues for a
county are equal to 85% of the county's average local purpose revenues. The average
local purpose revenues are the three year average of local revenues raised by the
county or municipality from certain sources, including property taxes, special
assessments and various fees.
Under this bill, aidable revenues for a municipality are the lesser of 90% of the
average local purpose revenues or 90% of the average local purpose revenues for all
municipalities divided by the state's population in the year prior to the distribution
of shared revenue payments. Under the bill, aidable revenues for a county are the
lesser of 90% of the average local purpose revenues or 90% of the average local
purpose revenues for all counties divided by the state's population in the year prior
to the distribution of shared revenue payments.
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
