Education.
AN ACT to repeal 121.905 (1) (b) 1. to 3. of the statutes; relating to: restrictions
on the revenue ceiling for school districts.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides a minimum per pupil revenue limit for school districts,
known as the revenue ceiling. Under current law, the per pupil revenue ceiling is
$11,000 in the 2023-24 school year and each school year thereafter. Current law also
provides that, during the three school years following a school year in which an
operating referendum fails in a school district, the school district's revenue ceiling
is the revenue ceiling that applied in the school year during which the referendum
was held. The bill eliminates the provision under which a school district's revenue
ceiling is the revenue ceiling from a previous school year because an operating
referendum failed in the school district.
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:
SECTION 1. 121.905 (1) (b) 1. to 3. of the statutes are repealed.
