***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 121.91 (7); and to create 121.91 (4) (m) of the statutes;
relating to: a school district revenue limit adjustment for the cost of employing
school nurses.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law generally limits the total amount of revenue per pupil that a school
district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in a school year to
the amount of revenue allowed per pupil in the previous school year plus a per pupil
increase, if any, as provided by law. However, current law also includes several
adjustments to the general revenue limit. 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, the school district's revenue limit
is increased by the cost of that service.
This bill creates a school district revenue limit adjustment for the costs of
employing school nurses. Under the bill, if a school board adopts a resolution, the
school district's revenue limit is increased by the amount the school district spent
during the second previous school year on salaries and benefits for school nurses.
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:
