What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a school district's revenue in the previous school year was less than the school district's revenue limit in that school year, the school district's revenue limit in the current school year is increased by the difference between its revenue in the previous school year and its revenue limit in the previous school year.
This revenue limit adjustment is only available to a school district for one year; the district cannot use it in consecutive school years.

This bill provides that if a school district qualified for this adjustment in the 2009-10 school year, but did not fully utilize the revenue limit increase in that school year, the school district's revenue limit for the 2010-11 school year is increased by the unused portion of the increase.
Similarly, the bill provides that if a school district is eligible for but does not fully utilize the revenue authority carryover provided for under current law in the succeeding school year (2010-11), or if a school district does not fully utilize the revenue authority carryover provided in this bill for the 2010-11 school year, its revenue limit for the 2011-12 school year is increased by the sum of the unused portions of the increases.
