Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill extends the declining enrollment revenue adjustment to two years.

Under the bill, in the first year of an enrollment decline, a school district's revenue limit is increased by 100 percent of the allowable revenues that the decline would have generated. In the second year, the district receives a revenue adjustment equal to 50 percent of the first-year adjustment.
