11	11	AN ACT to amend 79.05 (2) (c); and to create 66.0602 (1) (ai) and 66.0602 (3) (e)
12	12	10. of the statutes; relating to: a levy limit exception for certain shared
13	13	emergency services expenditures.
14	14	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
15	15	Generally, under current law, local levy limits are applied to the property tax
16	16	levies that are imposed by political subdivisions. A political subdivision may not
17	17	increase its levy by a percentage that exceeds its “valuation factor," which is the
18	18	greater of 0 percent or the percentage change in the political subdivision's equalized
19	19	value due to new construction, less improvements removed. Current law also
20	20	contains a number of exceptions to the levy limit, such as amounts a county levies
21	21	for a countywide emergency medical system, for a county children with disabilities
22	22	education board, and for certain bridge and culvert construction and repair.
23	23	The bill creates an additional exception to local levy limits. Under the bill, fee
24	24	increases apportioned to each city, village, or town operating a joint emergency
25	25	dispatch center do not apply to the levy limits, but only if the fees would cause the
26	26	city, village, or town to exceed the levy limits, and only if the total charges imposed
27	27	by the center for the current year, compared to the previous year, are less than or
28	28	equal to the rate of inflation plus 2 percent. In addition, all member political
29	29	subdivisions of a center must adopt a resolution in favor of exceeding the levy limit.
